- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
Let the triangle have vertices , and .
-
The midpoints of the two sides through vertex are given.
- Midpoint of is
- Midpoint of is
-
Use the midpoint formula to find and .
For : So, Hence,
For : So, Hence,
-
Now find the centroid of triangle .
The centroid is
Substituting , , :
-
Compare with the options:
- A:
- B:
- C:
- D:
Therefore, the correct option is C.
