Solution

The correct option is B (2,4)
In any triangle centroid divides the line joining orthocenter and circumcentre internally in the ratio 2 : 1.
Applying section formula to find the point which divides the line joining (0,0) in the ratio 2:1 , we get the coordinated of centroid equal to (2,4).
