The correct answer is: -1, 2, -5

Given: Mid-point of the sides of a triangle AB, BC, CA are D1,2,-3, E3,0,1, F-1,1,-4

Let the vertices of ABC Ax1,y2,z1, Bx2,y2,z2, Cx3,y3,z3 and D is the mid-point of AB then

Co-ordinate of point D is

 x1+x22=1  x1+x2=2  ...1

 y1+y22=2   y1+y2=1  ...2, 

 z1+z22=-3  z1+z2=-6 ...3

Similarly, E and F are the mid-point of side BC and AC.

Co-ordinate of point E is

 x2+x32=3  x2+x3=6   ...4

 y2+y32=0   y2+y3=0  ...5

 z2+z32=1  z2+z3=2   ...6

And Co-ordinate of point F is

x1+x32=-1   x1+x3=-2  ...7

y1+y32=1   y1+y3=2   ...8

z1+z32=-4   z1+z3=-8  ...9

From equations 1,4,7  x1=-3, x2=5, x3=1

From equations 2,5,8  y1=3, y2=1, y3=-1

From equations 3,6,9  z1=-8, z2=2, z3=0

So, A(-3,3,-8),B(5,1,2) & C(1,-1,0)

Hence, the vertices of ADF are A-3,3,-8, D1, 2, -3 and F-1, 1, -4

So, co-ordinate of centroid of ADF are

G-3+1-13,3+2+13,-8-3-43=G-1,2,-5

Hence, centroid G-1,2,-5
