Correct answer is (c) (-4,-15)

Two vertices of \(\triangle ABC\) are A(-1,4) and B(5,2).

Let the third vertex be C(a,b).

Then, the coordinates of its centroid are

But it is given that the centroid is G(0,-3).

Therefore,

\(\frac{4\,+\,a}{3}=0\) and \(\frac{6\,+\,b}{3}=-3\)

\(\Rightarrow\) 4 + a = 0 and 6 + b = -9

\(\Rightarrow\) a = -4 and b = -15

Hence, the third vertex of \(\triangle ABC\) is C(-4,-15).
