If the plane $56 x+4 y+9 z=2016$ meets the coordinate axes in $A, B, C$, then the centroid of the $\triangle A B C$ is
  1. $(12,168,224)$
  2. $(12,168,112)$
  3. $\left(12,168, \frac{224}{3}\right)$
  4. $\left(12,-168, \frac{224}{3}\right)$

Solution

Given that equation of plane, $\begin{aligned} & 56 x+4 y+9 z=2016 \\ & \frac{x}{\frac{2016}{56}}+\frac{y}{\frac{2016}{4}}+\frac{z}{\frac{2016}{9}}=1 \end{aligned}$ Also given, this plane meets the coordinate axes at points $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}$ and $\mathrm{C}$. Coordinate of $\mathrm{A}=\left(\frac{2016}{56}, 0,0\right)$ Coordinate of $\mathrm{B}=\left(0, \frac{2016}{4}, 0\right)$ Coordinate of $\mathrm{C}=\left(0,0, \frac{2016}{9}\right)$ Now, centroid of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ $\mathrm{G}=\left(\frac{2016}{56 \times 3}, \frac{2016}{4 \times 3}, \frac{2016}{9 \times 3}\right)=\left(12,168, \frac{224}{3}\right)$
