Vertices of a variable triangle are `(3,4); (5costheta, 5sintheta)` and `(5sintheta,-5costheta)` where `theta` is a parameter then the locus of its circumcentre is

A

`(x+y-1)^2+(x-y-7)^2=100`

B

`(x+y-7)^2+(x-y-1)^2=100`

C

`(x+y-7)^2+(x+y-1)^2=100`

D

`(x+y-7)^2+(x-y+1)^2=100`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Distance of all the points from (0,0) are 5 units. That means the circumcenter of the triangle formed by the given points is (0,0). If `G-=(h,k)` is the centroid of the triangle, then `3h=3+5(costheta+sintheta),3k=4+5(sintheta-costheta)`. If `H(alpha,beta)` is the orthocenter, then
`OG:GH=1:2or alpha=3h,beta=3k`
`costheta +sintheta =(alpha-3)/(5),sintheta-costheta=(beta-4)/(5)`
or `sintheta=(alpha+beta-7)/(10),costheta=(alpha-beta+1)/(10)`
Thus, the locus of `(alpha,beta)` is
`(x+y-7)^2+(x-y)+1)^2=100`
