Let ABC be a triangle whose circumcentre is at P. If the position vectors of A,B,C and P are →a,→b,→c and →a+→b+→c4 respectively, then the position vector of the orthocentre of this triangle, is:
A
−(→a+→b+→c2)

Solution
The correct option is B(→a+→b+→c)2 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+→c3 Position vector of circum center →C=→a+→b+→c4 Apply Section Formula, →G=2→C+→R3 3→G=2→C+→R →R=3→G−2→C=(→a+→b+→c)−2(→a+→b+→c4) =→a+→b+→c2
