Let the area of a $\triangle P Q R$ with vertices $P(5,4), Q(-2,4)$ and $R(a, b)$ be 35 square units. If its…
- $\frac{8}{3}$
- $\frac{7}{3}$
- $2$
- $3$
Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \text { Equation of lines } Q R=5 x+2 y+2=0 \\ & \text { Equation of lines } P R=10 x-3 y-38=0 \\ & \therefore \text { Point } R(2,-6) \\ & \text { Centroid }=\left(\frac{5-2+2}{3}, \frac{4+4-6}{3}\right) \\ & =\left(\frac{5}{3}, \frac{2}{3}\right) \\ & c+2 d=\frac{5}{3}+\frac{4}{3}=3\end{aligned}$ *
