The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements given in the question and determine their truth values. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement 1**: - Statement 1 claims that if the sines of the angles of a triangle are in Arithmetic Progression (A.P.), then the altitudes of the triangle are also in A.P. - We denote the angles of the triangle as \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \). Thus, we have \( \sin A \), \( \sin B \), and \( \sin C \) in A.P. - This means \( 2\sin B = \sin A + \sin C \). 2. **Using the Sine Rule**: - According to the Sine Rule, we have: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} = k \] - From this, we can express the sides in terms of \( k \): \[ a = k \sin A, \quad b = k \sin B, \quad c = k \sin C \] 3. **Substituting into the A.P. Condition**: - Substituting the values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) into the A.P. condition gives: \[ 2b = a + c \implies 2(k \sin B) = k \sin A + k \sin C \] - Dividing through by \( k \) (assuming \( k \neq 0 \)): \[ 2 \sin B = \sin A + \sin C \] 4. **Finding Altitudes**: - The altitudes corresponding to sides \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) can be expressed as: \[ h_a = \frac{2\Delta}{a}, \quad h_b = \frac{2\Delta}{b}, \quad h_c = \frac{2\Delta}{c} \] - Where \( \Delta \) is the area of the triangle. 5. **Expressing Altitudes in Terms of Sides**: - Substituting the expressions for \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \): \[ h_a = \frac{2\Delta}{k \sin A}, \quad h_b = \frac{2\Delta}{k \sin B}, \quad h_c = \frac{2\Delta}{k \sin C} \] 6. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - We can express the relationship between the altitudes: \[ \frac{1}{h_a}, \frac{1}{h_b}, \frac{1}{h_c} \] - This leads us to conclude that \( h_a, h_b, h_c \) are in Harmonic Progression (H.P.) instead of A.P. 7. **Conclusion for Statement 1**: - Since the altitudes are in H.P. and not A.P., **Statement 1 is false**. 8. **Understanding Statement 2**: - Statement 2 states that twice the area of a triangle is equal to the product of the length of a side and the altitude on it. - This is a well-known property of triangles and is indeed true. 9. **Final Evaluation**: - Statement 1 is false, and Statement 2 is true. Therefore, the correct option is that Statement 1 is false, and Statement 2 is true. ### Final Answer: - **Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true.** The correct option is **Option 4**.
