Correct answer: B
- Use the fact that is the circumcentre
Since is the circumcentre of triangle , it is equidistant from . So,
Given:
- Equate and
Thus,
But , and we will also use the next condition.
- Equate and
Hence,
Since , valid positive pairing is (The pair also gives , but let us check the geometry: the final result turns out same in this setup? We proceed with the valid option-producing pair from the circumcentre condition and test.)
So the triangle vertices are
This makes and coincide, which is impossible for a triangle. So we must carefully use all pairwise equalities with the original coordinates.
- Correct use: equate and
Thus,
Also from :
So,
Substitute into
Now possible pairs with are:
But makes and , degenerate triangle. Hence reject it.
Therefore,
Then
Check: so this is correct.

Solve and
Substitute:
Then
Thus,
So,
- Final answer
So the correct option is B.
