The equation of the circumcircle of an equilateral triangle is `x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0` and one vertex of the triangle in (1, 1). The equation of the incircle of the triangle is `a. 4(x^2+y^2)=g^2+f^2` `b. 4(x^2+y^2)+8gx+8fy=(1-g)(1+3g)+(1-f)(1+3f)` `c. 4(x^2+y^2)+8gx+8fy=g^2+f^2` d. None of These

A

`4(x^(2)+y^(2))=g^(2)+f^(2)`

B

`4(x^(2)+y^(2))+8gx+8fy=(1-g)(1+3g)+(1-f)(1+3f)`

C

`4(x^(2)+y^(2))+8gx+8fy=g^(2)+f^(2)`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2

In an equilateral triangle, circumcenter and incenter are coincident. Therefore,
Inceter`-= ( -g,-f)`
Point (1,1) lies on the circle. Therefore,
`1^(2)+1^(2)+2g+2f+c=0`
or `c= -2(g+f+1)`
Also, in an equilateral triangle,
Circumradius`=2xx` Inradius
`:. `Inradius `=(1)/(2) xx sqrt(g^(2)+f^(2)-c)`
Therefore, the equation of the incircle is
`(x+g)^(2)+(y+f)^(2)=(1)/(4)(g^(2)+f^(2)-c)` ,brgt `=(1)/(4){g^(2)+f^(2)+2(g+f+1}`
