Let be a triangle and let be its circumcentre and be its orthocentre. The

Let \( \mathrm{ABC} \) be a triangle and let \( \mathrm{S} \) be its circumcentre and \( \mathrm{O} \) be its orthocentre. The \( \overline{\mathbf{S A}}+\overline{\mathbf{S B}}+\overline{\mathbf{S C}}= \)

  • A. 450
  • B. 3ज्ठ
  • C. 2 So
  • D. So

Step-by-step solution

Taking the circumcenter S as the origin, let the position vectors of A, B, C be a, b, c. For any triangle, the orthocenter O (denoted here as O) has position vector a+b+c relative to the circumcenter. Thus, the vector sum SA + SB + SC = a + b + c = SO.
