The centroid of the triangle formed by the lines $x+3 y=10$ and $6 x^2+x y-y^2=0$ is

The centroid of the triangle formed by the lines $x+3 y=10$ and $6 x^2+x y-y^2=0$ is
  1. $\left(\frac{1}{3}, \frac{-7}{3}\right)$
  2. $\left(\frac{-1}{3}, \frac{-7}{3}\right)$
  3. $\left(\frac{-1}{3}, \frac{7}{3}\right)$
  4. $\left(\frac{1}{3}, \frac{7}{3}\right)$

Solution

Lines represented by the equation $6 x^2+x y-y^2=0$ are $y=3 x$ and $y=-2 x$ The co-ordinates of the vertices of the triangle formed by above lines with $x+3 y=10$ are $(0,0),(1,3)$ and $(-2,4)$. $\therefore \quad \text { Centroid }=\left(\frac{0+1-2}{3}, \frac{0+3+4}{3}\right)=\left(\frac{-1}{3}, \frac{7}{3}\right)$
