The correct answer is: $2,1,-3$
We know that centroid divides a line joining orthocenter to circumcentre in the ratio $2: 1$.
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \overline{\mathrm{g}}=\frac{\overline{\mathrm{h}}+2 \overline{\mathrm{p}}}{1+2} \Rightarrow 2 \overline{\mathrm{p}}+\overline{\mathrm{h}}=-3 \overline{\mathrm{g}} \\
& \therefore \mathrm{x}=2, \mathrm{y}=1, \mathrm{z}=-3 \text { as per data given. }
\end{aligned}
$$
