Use the concept of

Position vector -

Let O be a fixed origin, then position vector of P is \overrightarrow{OP}

- wherein

 

 

Centroid is intersection is \frac{x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}}{3} , \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}+y_{3}}{3}

orthocentre: intersection of altitudes.

so that in a triangle ABC the orthocentre H, centroid G and circumcentre M are collinear ang G divides HM internally in the ration 2:1

\therefore g=\frac{2\times M+1\times P}{3}

\Rightarrow p=3g

\therefore k=3                 \left [ \because M=\left ( 0,0,0 \right ) \right ]
