37. (b) 7x – 5y = 12
Explanation: Since the point P(x, y) is
equidistant from the points A(7, 0) and B(0, 5),
\ PA = PB ...(i) Then, using section formula,
Using distance formula, we have 7k – 2

get DABC = d , n = (–2, 3)
3 3
x2 + y2 + 49 – 14x = x2 + y2 + 25 – 10y
Since, centroid lies on median of the triangle,
Squaring both sides, we get
So, G(–2, 3) satisfy the equation x – 2y + k = 0.
x2 + y2 + 49 – 14x = x2 + y2 + 25 – 10y
\ –2 – 6 + k = 0

⇒ 14x – 10y = 24
⇒ k=8

⇒ 7x – 5y = 12
