If the origin is the centroid of the triangle for which $(-2,3,4)$ and $(3,-1,5)$ are two vertices, then the third vertex is
  1. $(1,2,9)$
  2. $(-1,-2,9)$
  3. $(1,-2,-9)$
  4. $(-1,-2,-9)$

Solution

Let the vertices of triangle be $ A(x, y, z), B(-2,3,4), C(3,-1,5) $ Centroid of $\triangle A B C$ is $ \begin{aligned} \left(\frac{x-2+3}{3}, \frac{y+3-1}{3}\right. & \left., \frac{z+4+5}{3}\right) \\ & =\left(\frac{x+1}{3}, \frac{y+2}{3}, \frac{2+9}{3}\right) \end{aligned} $ Given that centroid of $\triangle A B C$ is origin $ \begin{aligned} & \frac{x+1}{3}=0 \Rightarrow x=-1 \\ & \frac{y+2}{3}=0 \Rightarrow y=-2 \\ & \frac{z+9}{3}=0 \Rightarrow z=-9 \end{aligned} $ $\therefore$ Third vertex $(-1,-2,-9)$
