Answer:
B
Solution:

Given: A2,2,1, B1,2,2 and C2,1,2 are vertices of ABC.

AB=2-12+2-22+1-22=2

BC=1-22+2-12+2-22=2

CA=2-22+2-12+1-22=2

So, ABC is equilateral.

Therefore, orthocentre and centroid will be same.

G2+1+23,2+2+13,1+2+23

G53,53,53

Also, mid point of AB is D32,2,32

l1=32-532+2-532+32-532

l1=136+19+136

l1=16

Similarly, l2=l3=16

l12+l22+l32=16+16+16

l12+l22+l32=12
