The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the statements provided and derive the necessary equations step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Problem We need to check if the sum of algebraic distances from the points A(1,2), B(2,3), and C(6,1) to the line \( ax + by + c = 0 \) being zero implies that \( 2a + 3b + c = 0 \). ### Step 2: Algebraic Distance Formula The algebraic distance \( d \) from a point \( (x_0, y_0) \) to the line \( ax + by + c = 0 \) is given by: \[ d = \frac{ax_0 + by_0 + c}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} \] ### Step 3: Setting Up the Equation For points A(1,2), B(2,3), and C(6,1), the distances can be expressed as: - Distance from A(1,2): \[ d_A = \frac{a(1) + b(2) + c}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} = \frac{a + 2b + c}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} \] - Distance from B(2,3): \[ d_B = \frac{a(2) + b(3) + c}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} = \frac{2a + 3b + c}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} \] - Distance from C(6,1): \[ d_C = \frac{a(6) + b(1) + c}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} = \frac{6a + b + c}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} \] ### Step 4: Summing the Distances The sum of the algebraic distances is: \[ d_A + d_B + d_C = \frac{a + 2b + c + 2a + 3b + c + 6a + b + c}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} = \frac{(1 + 2 + 6)a + (2 + 3 + 1)b + 3c}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{9a + 6b + 3c}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} = 0 \] ### Step 5: Setting the Numerator to Zero For the sum to be zero, the numerator must be zero: \[ 9a + 6b + 3c = 0 \] Dividing the entire equation by 3 gives: \[ 3a + 2b + c = 0 \] ### Step 6: Analyzing Statement I The statement claims that if the sum of distances is zero, then \( 2a + 3b + c = 0 \). However, we derived \( 3a + 2b + c = 0 \). Therefore, Statement I is **false**. ### Step 7: Finding the Centroid of Triangle ABC The centroid \( G \) of triangle ABC with vertices A(1,2), B(2,3), and C(6,1) is given by: \[ G_x = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3} = \frac{1 + 2 + 6}{3} = \frac{9}{3} = 3 \] \[ G_y = \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3} = \frac{2 + 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{6}{3} = 2 \] Thus, the centroid is \( (3, 2) \), confirming Statement II is **true**. ### Conclusion - Statement I: False - Statement II: True ### Final Answer The correct option is that Statement I is false and Statement II is true.
