In a triangle PQR, the co-ordinates of the points P and Q are (-2, 4) and (4, -2) respectively. If the equation of the perpendicular bisector of PR is 2x - y + 2 = 0, then the centre of the circumcircle of the ΔPQR is:

Option 1 - <p>(0, 2)<br>&lt;!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;<br>&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;</p>
Option 2 - <p>(-2, -2)<br>&lt;!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;<br>&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;</p>
Option 3 - <p>(-1, 0)<br>&lt;!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;<br>&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;</p>
Option 4 - <p>(1, 4)</p>

Correct Option - 2
Detailed Solution:

By property of triangle image of vertex of P is Q about the perpendicular side bisector of triangle Hence according to question X - Y = 0 is a perpendicular side bisector of PQ
Hence solving X - Y = 0 and 2X - y + 2= 0
o (-2, -2)
