A variable straight line passes through a fixed point (a, b) intersecting the co − ordinates axes at A & B. If 'O' is the origin, then the locus of the centroid of the triangle OAB is :
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
equation of line AB AB
∴ G 
⇒ h = 
, k = 
on eleminating 'm' we get required locus
bh + ak – 3hk = 0 ⇒ bx + ay – 3xy = 0
