Solution

Given:
$\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$ are the position vectors
centroid is at the origin

Let O be the centroid of the triangle.

$\vec{O O} = \frac{\vec{O A} + \vec{O B} + \vec{O C}}{3} \Rightarrow \vec{0} = \frac{\vec{O A} + \vec{O B} + \vec{O C}}{3} \Rightarrow \vec{0} = \frac{\vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c}}{3} \Rightarrow \vec{0} = \vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c}$

Hence, $\vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c}$ = $\vec{0}$ .
