With Casino Royale hitting the theatres,
we thought it's time we followed the footsteps of Mr. Bond, and treat you with something that requires more style and oompph than the regular stuff.
So here we got four questions for you. Each question can be solved in many ways and might have solutions which can be lengthy. However, the deal is that the people with the best and the most stylish (a.k.a shortest) solution will walk away with cool goIIT T-shirts. So in order to solve the question, click on the attached forum/post link, and post your answers there for everyone else to see. So here we go..
Ques. 1
ABC is a triangle and the equation of the sides AB, BC, CA are
a1 x + b1 y + c1 = 0 ….. (1)
a2 x + b2 y + c2 = 0 ….. (2)
a3 x + b3 y + c3 = 0 ….. (3)
Find the eqn. of the medians of the triangle, without solving for the vertices. [click here to answer]
