A(x1, y1, z1), B(x2, y2, z2) and C(x3, y3, z3).
Mid-point of BC = (1, 2, – 3)
Mid-point of AB = (3, 0, 1)
Similarly, mid-point of AC = (– 1, 1, – 4)
Adding eq. (i), (iv) and (vii) we get,
2x1 + 2x2 + 2x3 = 2 + 6 – 2 = 6
⇒ x1 + x2 + x3 = 3
⇒ 6 + x3 = 3 ⇒ x3 = – 3 [from eq. (iv)]
⇒ x1 + 2 = 3 ⇒ x1 = 1 [from eq. (i)]
⇒ x2 – 2 = 3 ⇒ x2 = 5 [from eq. (vii)]
So, x1 = 1, x2 = 5 and x3 = – 3.
Similarly, Adding (ii), (v) and (viii) we get
2(y1 + y2 + y3) = 4 + 0 + 2 = 6
∴ y1 + y2 + y3 = 3
y1 + 4 = 3 ⇒ y1 = – 1
0 + y3 = 3 ⇒ y3 = 3
y2 + 2 = 3 ⇒ y2 = 1
So, y1 = – 1, y2 = 1, y3 = 3
Adding (iii), (vi) and (ix) we have
2(z1 + z2 + z3) = – 6 + 2 – 8 = – 12
∴ z1 + z2 + z3 = – 6
z1 – 6 = – 6 ⇒ z1 = 0 [from eq. (iii)]
2 + z3 = – 6 ⇒ z3 = – 8 [from eq. (vi)]
and z2 – 8 = – 6 ⇒ z2 = 2
∴ z1 = 1, z2 = 1, z3 = - 8.
So, the points are A(1, – 1, 0), B(5, 1, 2) and C(– 3, 3, – 8).

E(0, 8, 5) is the mid-point of AB
Similarly, F(2, 3, – 1) is the mid-point of AC
Adding eq. (i), (iv) and (vii) we get
2(x1 + x2 + x3) = 10 + 0 + 4

x2 = 7 – 4 = 3
Adding eq. (ii), (v) and (viii) we get
2(y1 + y2 + y3) = (14 + 16 + 6)
⇒ y1 + y2 + y3 = 18 ...(xi)
Subtracting eq. (ii) from (xi) we get
y1 = 18 – 14 = 4
Subtracting eq. (v) from (xi) we get
y3 = 18 – 16 = 2
Subtracting eq. (viii) from (xi) we get
y2 = 18 – 6 = 12
Now adding eq. (iii), (vi) and (ix) we get
2(z1 + z2 + z3) = 22 + 10 – 2
⇒ z1 + z2 + z3 = 15 ...(xii)
Subtracting eq. (iii) from (xii) we get
z1 = 15 – 22 = – 7
Subtracting eq. (vi) from (xii), we get
z3 = 15 – 10 = 5
Subtracting eq. (ix) from (xii) we get
z2 = 15 + 2 = 17
So, the required coordinates are
A(x1, y1, z1), B(x2, y2, z2) and C(x3, y3, z3).

z2 = – 6 – (– 8) = 2 ⇒ z2 = 2
So, the coordinates are A(– 3, 3, – 8), B(5, 1, 2) and C(1, – 1, 0)
∴ Centroid G =
= (1, 1, – 2)
Hence, the value of the filler is (1, 1, – 2).
Q.50. Match each item given under the column C1 to its correct answer given under column C2.
Ans.
(a) In xy-plane, z-coordinate is zero.
Hence, (a) ↔ (iii).
(b) The point (2, 3, 4) lies in first octant.
Hence, (b) ↔ (i).
(c) Locus of the points with x-coordinate is zero is yz-plane.
Hence, (c) ↔ (ii).
(d) A line is parallel to x-axis if and only if all the points on the line have equal y and z-coordinates.
Hence, (d) ↔ (vi).
(e) x = 0, y = 0 represent z-axis.
Hence, (e) ↔ (iv).
(f) z = c represent a plane parallel to xy-plane.
Hence, (f) ↔ (v).
(g) The planes x = a, y = b represent the line parallel to z-axis.
Hence, (g) ↔ (viii).
(h) Coordinates of a point are the distances from the origin to the feet of perpendicular from the point on the respective axes.
Hence, (h) ↔ (vii).
(i) A ball is solid region in the space enclosed by a sphere.
Hence, (i) ↔ (x).
(j) The region in the plane enclosed by a circle is known as a disc.
Hence, (j) ↔ (ix).
