In an isosceles triangle ABC, the vertex A is (6, 1) and the equation of the base BC is 2x +y = 4. Let the point B lie on the line x + 3y = 7. If (α, β) is the centroid of ∆ABC, then 15(α + β) is equal to:

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:

2x + y = 4
2x + 6y = 14
} y=2, x=3
B (1, 2)
Let C (k, 4–2k)
Now AB² = AC²
=> 5k² – 24k + 19 = 0
α = (6+1+10/5)/3 = 18/5
Now 15 (α+β)
15 (17/5) = 51
