LetABCbe a triangle whose circumcentre is atP. If the position vectorsA, B, CandParea→,b→,c→anda→+b→+c→4respectively, then the position vector of the orthocentre of this triangle, is :

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

O is orthocentre and G is centroid and C is circumcentre. G divides OC in 2: 1 ratio.
Position vector of centriod G→=a→+b→+c→3
Position vector of circum center C→=a→+b→+c→4
Apply Section Formula,
G→=2C→+R→3

3G→=2C→+R→

R→=3G→-2C→=(a→+b→+c→)-2a→+b→+c→4

=a→+b→+c→2
