MHT CET 2023 11th May Evening Shift Mathematics - Properties of Triangles Question 7 English Explanation

Here, A ( 2 , 3 ) , B ( 6 , 1 ) , C ( 4 , 3 ) are the vertices of A B C .

Let F be the circumcentre of ABC .

Let F D and F E be the perpendicular bisectors of the sides BC and AC respectively.

D and E are the midpoints of side BC and AC respectively.

D ( 6 + 4 2 , 1 + 3 2 ) D = ( 5 , 1 )  and  E ( 2 + 4 2 , 3 + 3 2 ) E = ( 1 , 3 )

Now, slope of B C = 3 ( 1 ) 4 6 = 4 2 = 2

Slope of FD = 1 2 [ FD BC ]

Since FD passes through ( 5 , 1 ) and has slope 1 2 , equation of FD is

y 1 = 1 2 ( x 5 ) 2 ( y 1 ) = x 5 2 y 2 = x 5 x 2 y 3 = 0 .... (i)

Since both the points A and C have same y co-ordinates i.e. 3, the given points lie on the line y = 3 .

Since the equation FE passes through E ( 1 , 3 ) , the equation of FE is x = 1 . ..... (ii)

To find co-ordinates of circumcentre, we have to solve equations (i) and (ii).

Substituting the value of x in (i), we get

1 2 y 3 = 0 y = 1

Co-ordinates of circumcentre F ( 1 , 1 ) .

In triangle ABC with usual notations b = 3 , c = 1 ,   m A = 30 , then the largest angle of the triangle is

A. 135

B. 90

C. 60

D. 120

Correct answer option is (D)

By cosine rule, we get

a 2 = b 2 + c 2 2 b c cos A = ( 3 ) 2 + ( 1 ) 2 2 ( 3 ) ( 1 ) cos ( 30 ) = 3 + 1 2 3 ( 3 2 ) = 4 3 = 1

a = 1

Largest angle is angle B

cos B = c 2 + a 2 b 2 2 ca = 1 + 1 3 2 × 1 × 1 = 1 2 B = 120

If the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 4 : 1 : 1 , then the ratio of the longest side to its perimeter is

A. 3 : ( 2 + 3 )

B. 2 : ( 1 + 3 )

C. 1 : ( 2 + 3 )

D. 2 : 3

Correct answer option is (A)

Let the angles of the triangle be 4 x , x and x .

4 x + x + x = 180 6 x = 180 x = 30 sin 120 a = sin 30 b = sin 30 c a : ( a + b + c ) = ( sin 120 ) : ( sin 120 + sin 30 + sin 30 ) = 3 2 : 3 + 2 2 = 3 : ( 3 + 2 )

If in ABC , with usual notations, a cos 2 C 2 + c cos 2 A 2 = 3 b 2 , then

A. a, b, c are in G.P.

B. a, b, c are in H.P.

C. a, b, c are in A.P.

D. a, b, c are in Arithmetico Geometric Progression

Correct answer option is (C)

a cos 2 C 2 + c cos 2 A 2 = 3 b 2 a ( 1 + cos C 2 ) + c ( 1 + cos A 2 ) = 3 b 2 a + a cos C + c + c cos A = 3 b a + b + c = 3 b [ b = c cos A + a cos C ] a + c = 2 b

a , b , c are in A.P.

In a triangle ABC , with usual notations, if m A = 60 , b = 8 , a = 6 and B = sin 1 x , then x has the value

A. 3 2

B. 2 3

C. 2 3

D. 1 2 3

Correct answer option is (B)

By sine rule, we get

sin A a = sin B b sin 60 6 = x 8 [ B = sin 1 ( x ) ] x = 3 2 × 8 6 x = 2 3
