Let G be the centroid of ΔABC and S be any point in the plane of a ΔABC. Statement-1: $\vec{SA} + \vec{SB} + \vec{SC} = 3 \vec{SG}$ Statement-2: If O, A and B are three points in a plane, then $m\vec{OA}+n\vec{OB} = (m + n)\vec{OC}$, where C is a point dividing AB in the ratio $n : m$. |
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False. Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True. |
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1. |
Let O be the origin. Using section formula, we have $\vec{OC}=\frac{n\vec{OB}+m\vec{OA}}{n+m}⇒ (m+n)\vec{OC}=m\vec{OA}+n\vec{OB}$ So, statement-2 is true. Now, $\vec{SA} + \vec{SB} + \vec{SC} =\vec{SA}+(\vec{SB} + \vec{SC})$ $⇒\vec{SA} + \vec{SB} + \vec{SC} =\vec{SA}+2\vec{SD}$ [Using statement-2 for m = n = 1] $⇒\vec{SA} + \vec{SB} + \vec{SC} =(1+2)\vec{SG}$ [Using statement-2] $⇒\vec{SA} + \vec{SB} + \vec{SC} =3\vec{SG}$ So, both the statements are true and statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement-1. |
