Three distinct points A, B and C are given in the two-dimensional coordinate plane
such that the ratio of the distance of any one of them from (2, –1) to its distance from
(–1, 5) is 1 : 2. Then the centre of the circle passing through A, B and C is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

(3, –3)

Option C ((3, –3)) is correct because the center of the circle is the midpoint of the line segment joining the two given points.
