The point equidistant from the `O(0,0,0),A(a,0,0),B(0,b,0)` and `C(0,0,c)` has the coordinatesA. `(a,b,c)`B. `(a//2,b//2,c//2)`C. `(a//3,b//3,c//3)`D. `(a//4,b//4,c//4)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Let `P(x,y,z)` be the required point. Then
`OP=AP=BP=CP`
Now `OP=AP`
`impliesOP^(2)=AP^(2)`
`impliesx^(2)+y^(2)+z^(2)=(x-a)^(2)+y^(2)+z^(2)`
`implies-2ax+a^(2)=0impliesx=a/2`
Similarly, `OP=BP` and `OP=CP`implies `y=b/2` and `z=c/2`
Hence required point has the coordinates `(a//2,b//2,c//2)`.
