The correct answer is: 1757

Given: Aa,b, B3,4, C6,8 denotes centroid, circumcentre and orthocentre respectively.

We know that, the line joining orthocentre and circumcentre is divided by centroid in the ratio 2:1, where distance from orthocentre being the larger part.

a=2×3+1-62+1, b=2×4+1-82+1

a=0, b=0

P2×0+3, 7×0+5

P3, 5

Distance from P measured along x2y1=0

x=3+rcosθ, y=5+rsinθ

Where, tanθ=12

So, the distance of point from 2x+3y4=0 will be,

23+rcosθ+35+rsinθ4=0

r2cosθ+3sinθ=17

r=172·25+3·15

r=1757

r=1757
