Let A3,0,-1, B2,10,6 and C1,2,1 be the vertices of a triangle and M be the mid-point of AC. If G divides BM in the ratio, 2:1 , then cosGOA (O being the origin) is equal to
  1. 130
  2. 1610
  3. 115
  4. 1215

Solution


   M is mid point of AC & G divides BM in the ratio 2:1 internally

 G is centroid of ABC

 G=3+1+23,0+2+103,-1+1+63=2,4,2

  OA=3i+0j-k & OG=2i+4j+2k

  cosGOA=OA.OGOAOG=6-21024=410 26

=115
