Two vertices of a triangle are (0, 2) and (4, 3). If its orthocentre is at the origin, then its third vertex lies in which quadrant ?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Sol. 
Since H is orthocentre of Δ ABC
then C is also orthocentre of Δ AHB
equation of line AC is
4x + 3y = 6 ...............(i)
equation of line BC is
y = 3 ...............(ii)
on solving (i) and (ii)
x = 
, y = 3
⇒ point lies in 2 nd quadrant
