The correct answer is:
$\left(\frac{7}{3}, \frac{-2}{3}, \frac{8}{3}\right)$
Given, orthocentre and circumcentre of triangle are $(3,-4,2)$ and $(2,1,3)$ respectively We know that centroid of triangle is divide orthocentre and circumcentre in the ratio $2: 1$.
$\therefore$ Centroid of triangle is
$\left(\frac{3+2(2)}{3}, \frac{-4+2(1)}{3}, \frac{2+2(3)}{3}\right)$
i.e., $\left(\frac{7}{3}, \frac{-2}{3}, \frac{8}{3}\right)$
$\therefore$ Centroid of triangle is
$\left(\frac{3+2(2)}{3}, \frac{-4+2(1)}{3}, \frac{2+2(3)}{3}\right)$
i.e., $\left(\frac{7}{3}, \frac{-2}{3}, \frac{8}{3}\right)$
