Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2024

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

  1. A 69
  2. B $\sqrt{99}$
  3. C $\sqrt{69}$ Correct answer
  4. D 9

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>
