If $2 x^2-5 x y+2 y^2=0$ represents two sides of a triangle whose centroid is $(1,1)$, then the equation of the third side is
  1. $x+y+3=0$
  2. $x-y-3=0$
  3. $x+y-3=0$
  4. $x-y+3=0$

Solution

Given equation are $2 x^2-5 x y+2 y^2=0$ $\Rightarrow(x-2 y)(2 x-y)=0 \Rightarrow x=2 y \& y=2 x$ Let $A(a, 2 a) \& B(2 b, b)$ and one point $(0,0)$ so $\frac{a+2 b+0}{3}=1 \Rightarrow a+2 b=3$ ... (i) $\& \frac{2 a+b+0}{3}=1 \Rightarrow 2 a+b=3$ ... (ii) on solving we get, $\mathrm{a}=1, \mathrm{~b}=1$ So equation of line passing through $\mathrm{A}(1,2)$ \& $\mathrm{B}(2,1)$ is $\begin{aligned} & y-2=\frac{1-2}{2-1}(x-1) \\ & \Rightarrow y-2=-x+1 \Rightarrow x+y-3=0 \end{aligned}$
