MHT-CET Full Test-7 Mathematics Que-41 Solution

Q.41. In a traingle, the sum of lengths of two sides is x and the product of the lengths of the same two sides is y.If x2-c2 = y, where c is the length of the third side of the triangle,then the circumradius of the traingle is

A. \frac{c}{3}

B. \frac{c}{\sqrt{3}}

C. \frac{3}{2}y

D. \frac{y}{\sqrt{3}}

Answer :- B. \frac{c}{\sqrt{3}}

Explanation :- Let a and b be the lengths of two sides of a traingle.

According to the given condition

a+b = x and ab=y

x2-c2=y

(a+b)2 – c2 = ab

a2+b2-c2 = -ab

\frac{a^{2}+b^{2}-c^{2}}{2ab}=-\frac{1}{2} Cos \; C=\frac{1}{2} C=\frac{2\pi }{3}

Circumradius = C=\frac{c}{2 sin\; C}=\frac{c}{2 sin\left ( \frac{2\pi }{3} \right)}=\frac{2\pi }{3}
