Let be an equilateral triangle with side length a. Let and denote the radii of the circumcircle and the incircle of triangle respectively. Then, as a function of the ratio
- Astrictly increases
- Bstrictly decreases
- Correct answerCremains constant
- Dstrictly increases for and strictly decrease for
Solution
For an equilateral triangle A B C having side length a. If R and r are radii of the circumcircle and the incircle of triangle A B C respectively, then

and
which is independent of
and it is constant.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
