is the orthocenter of the triangle ABC with vertices A(3, - 7), B(-1, 2) and C(4, 5), then 
is equal to
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
The required diagram will be:
Equation of 
3y + 21 = -5x + 15
5x + 3y + 6 = 0......(i)
Equation of 
x = 23 - 12y…..(ii)
by (ii) 115 – 60y + 3y + 6 = 0
57y = 121
= 207 - 242 + 60 = 25
Hence this is the required option.
