Q. Let be the circumcenter of the triangle
formed by the lines
4x+3y=69
4y-3x=17 and x+7y=61
is equal to
A 18
B 15
C 16

Important Note:
Orthocentre, centroid & circumcentre are always collinear & centroid divides the
line joining orthocentre & circumcentre in the ratio 2:1.
In an equilateral triangle G, O, I & C coincide.
In an isosceles triangle G, O, I & C lie on the same line.

Locus Problems
Locus: it is the path or curve traced by a moving point satisfying

a given condition.
Locus Problems
Steps to Find Equation of Locus:

(1) Let the coordinates of the point whose locus is to be found, to be (h, k).
(2) Mathematically, write the given conditions involving h and k.
(3) Eliminate the variables (if any).
(4) Replace ‘h’ by ‘x’ and ‘k’ by ‘y’ in the eliminant to obtain the equation of the
required locus.
