    Question

    One vertex of the equilateral triangle with centroid at origin and one side x+y2=0x + y − 2 = 0​ is:

    A.

    (1,1)(−1, −1)​​

    B.

    (2,2) (2, 2)​​

    C.

    ​​​​​​​​(2,2)(−2, −2)​​

    D.

    ​​​​​​​(2,2)(2, −2)​​

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    Centroid of the equilateral triangle is at (0, 0).
    One side of the triangle is x + y − 2 = 0.
    Formula used:
    The centroid divides the median in the ratio 2:12 : 1​ from the vertex.
    ​For an equilateral triangle, the median is perpendicular to the side and
    passes through the centroid.
    Solution:
    The line x + y − 2 = 0 has slope −1.
    So, the median will have slope 1.
    Equation of median through origin:
    y = x
    The median meets the given side at its midpoint.
    Find the midpoint of the side x + y − 2 = 0 lying on y = x.
    Substitute y = x:
    x + x − 2 = 0
    2x = 2
    x = 1, y = 1
    So midpoint of the side is (1, 1).
    The centroid divides the median in the ratio 2:1.2 : 1.​​
    Hence, the vertex lies on the median such that:
    OG:GM=2:1OG : GM = 2 : 1​​
    So the vertex is at: (2,2)(2, 2)​​
    The correct answer is (b) (2, 2).
