The circumcentre of a triangle lies at the origin and its centroid is the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (a2+1,a2+1)({a}^{2}+1,{a}^{2}+1)(a2+1,a2+1) and (2a,−2a),a≠0(2a, - 2a),a\neq 0(2a,−2a),a=0. Then for any a,a,a, the orthocentre of this triangle lies on the line

Options

  1. A

    y−(a2+1)x=0y-({a}^{2}+1)x=0y−(a2+1)x=0

  2. B

    y−2ax=0y-2ax=0y−2ax=0

  3. C

    y+x=0y+x=0y+x=0

  4. D

    (a−1)2x−(a+1)2y=0{(a-1)}^{2}x-{(a+1)}^{2}y=0(a−1)2x−(a+1)2y=0
