JEE Main 2025 — 22 January, Evening Shift — Question 22

Let A(6,8),B(10cos⁡α,−10sin⁡α)\mathrm{A}(6,8), \mathrm{B}(10 \cos \alpha,-10 \sin \alpha) and C (−10sin⁡α,10cos⁡α)(-10 \sin \alpha, 10 \cos \alpha), be the vertices of a triangle. If

L(a,9)\mathrm{L}(\mathrm{a}, 9) and G(h,k)\mathrm{G}(\mathrm{h}, \mathrm{k}) be its orthocenter and centroid respectively, then (5a−3 h+6k+100sin⁡2α)(5 \mathrm{a}-3 \mathrm{~h}+6 \mathrm{k}+100 \sin 2 \alpha) is

equal to _____\_\_\_\_\_

Answer: 145

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

All the three points A, B, C lie on the circle x2+y2=100x^{2}+y^{2}=100 so circumcentre is (0,0)(0,0)

G(h,k)1L(a,9)O(0,0)\underset{\mathrm{O}(0,0)}{\stackrel{1}{\mathrm{G}(\mathrm{h}, \mathrm{k})} \quad \mathrm{L}(\mathrm{a}, 9)}

a+03=h⇒a=3 h\frac{\mathrm{a}+0}{3}=\mathrm{h} \Rightarrow \mathrm{a}=3 \mathrm{~h}

and 9+03=k⇒k=3\frac{9+0}{3}=k \Rightarrow k=3

also centroid 6+10cos⁡α−10sin⁡α3=h\frac{6+10 \cos \alpha-10 \sin \alpha}{3}=\mathrm{h}

⇒10(cos⁡α−sin⁡α)=3 h−6..(i)\Rightarrow 10(\cos \alpha-\sin \alpha)=3 \mathrm{~h}-6..(i)

and 8+10cos⁡α−10sin⁡α3=k\frac{8+10 \cos \alpha-10 \sin \alpha}{3}=\mathrm{k}

⇒10(cos⁡α−sin⁡α)=3k−8=9−8=1…(ii)\Rightarrow 10(\cos \alpha-\sin \alpha)=3 \mathrm{k}-8=9-8=1…(ii) on squaring 100(1−sin⁡2α)=1100(1-\sin 2 \alpha)=1

⇒100sin⁡2α=99\Rightarrow 100 \sin 2 \alpha=99

from equ. (i) and (ii) we get h=73\mathrm{h}=\frac{7}{3}

Now 5a−3 h+6k+100sin⁡2α5 \mathrm{a}-3 \mathrm{~h}+6 \mathrm{k}+100 \sin 2 \alpha

=15 h−3 h+6k+100sin⁡2α=15 \mathrm{~h}-3 \mathrm{~h}+6 \mathrm{k}+100 \sin 2 \alpha

=12×73+18+99=12 \times \frac{7}{3}+18+99

=145=145
