Let $P Q R$ be a triangle with $R(-1,4,2)$. Suppose $M(2,1,2)$ is the mid point of $\mathrm{PQ}$. The distance of the centroid of $\triangle \mathrm{PQR}$ from the point of intersection of the lines $\frac{x-2}{0}=\frac{y}{2}=\frac{z+3}{-1}$ and $\frac{x-1}{1}=\frac{y+3}{-3}=\frac{z+1}{1}$ is
Solution
<p>Centroid $G$ divides MR in $1: 2$</p>
<p>$\mathrm{G}(1,2,2)$</p>
<p>Point of intersection $A$ of given lines is $(2,-6,0)$</p>
<p>$\mathrm{AG}=\sqrt{69}$</p>
