Solution

The correct option is A
True

Circum centre is the centre of the circle passing through all the vertices of a triangle.
So, circum centre will be equidistant from the vertices of triangle

PA=PB=PC=radius of circumcentre
So, PA=PB=PC is true

Find the centroid of the triangle with vertices A $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ , B $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ and C $(x_{3}, y_{3})$ .

A (x_{1}, y_{1}), B (x_{2}, y_{2}), C (x_{3}, y_{3})

∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} x & y & 1 x_{1} & y_{1} & 1 x_{2} & y_{2} & 1 \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ + ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} x & y & 1 x_{1} & y_{1} & 1 x_{3} & y_{3} & 1 \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ = 0

If $A (x_{1}, y_{1})$ , $B (x_{2}, y_{2})$ and $C (x_{3}, y_{3})$ are the vertices of a triangle, then the excentre opposite to B is

A (x_{1}, y_{1}), B x_{2}, y_{2}), C (x_{3}, y_{3})

(x_{1} - 2)^{2} + (y_{1} - 3)^{2} = (x_{2} - 2)^{2} + (y_{2} - 3)^{2} = (x_{3} - 2)^{2} + (y_{3} - 3)^{2}
