Let be a real number, C denote a circle with circumference l and T denote a triangle with perimeter l. Then
- Correct answerAgiven any positive real number we can choose C and T as above such that ratio is greater than
- Bgiven any positive real number , we can choose C and T as above such that ratio is less than
- Cgive any C and T as above, the ratio is
independent of C and T - Dthere exist real numbers a and b such that for any circle C and triangle T as above, we must have
Solution
It is given that circumference of is and the perimeter of triangle T is
Now, let the radius of circle C is r, so
area of circle C is
Now, as we know that area of triangle will be maximum for given perimeter if it is an equilateral triangle, let the length of side of equilateral triangle is ' a, then
and area of equilateral triangle is
since, as we took an equilateral triangle, which has maximum area. But we can take a triangle T such that the ratio is greater than any positive real number .
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
