The equation to the sides of a triangle are $x - 3y = 0$, $4x + 3y = 5$ and $3x + y = 0$. The line $3x - 4y = 0$ passes through

A

The incentre

B

The centroid

C

The circumcentre

D

The orthocentre of the triangle

Solution

(d) Two sides $x – 3y = 0$and $3x + y = 0$of the given triangle are perpendicular to each other. Therefore its orthocentre is the point of intersection of $x – 3y = 0$ and $3x + y = 0$ i.e, $(0, 0)$. Clearly satisfies $3x – 4y = 0$.
