    If centroid of an equilateral triangle is (1, 1) and its one vertex is (-1, 2), then the equation of its circumcircle is

    A)  \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x-2y-3=0\]

    B)  \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2x-2y-3=0\]

    C)  \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2x+2y-3=0\]

    D)  \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x+2y-3=0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Centriod of equilateral triangle is also circumentre of the circle. \[\therefore \] Centre of circle is (1, 1) Radius \[=\sqrt{{{(1+1)}^{2}}+{{(1-2)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{5}\] \[\therefore \] Equation of circle is \[{{(x-1)}^{2}}+{{(y-1)}^{2}}=5\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x-2y-3=0\]
