    A triangle is inscribed in a circle of radius 1. The distance between the orthocenter and the circumventer of the triangle cannot be

    A) \[\frac{1}{2}\]                      

    B)        \[2\]              

    C) \[\frac{3}{2}\]                      

    D)        \[4\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Let the vertices of the triangle be \[(\cos \,{{\theta }_{i}},\,\,\sin {{\theta }_{i}}),\]\[i=1,2,3\]. \[\therefore \]  Circumcentre\[\equiv \,\,\,\,(0,0)\] Also, orthocentre is \[((\cos {{\theta }_{1}}+\cos {{\theta }_{2}}+\cos {{\theta }_{3}}).\] \[(\sin {{\theta }_{1}}+\sin {{\theta }_{2}}+\sin {{\theta }_{3}}))\] \[\Rightarrow \] Distance between orthocentre and circumcentre \[=\sqrt{{{(\cos {{\theta }_{1}}+\cos {{\theta }_{2}}+\cos {{\theta }_{3}})}^{2}}+{{(\sin {{\theta }_{1}}+\sin {{\theta }_{2}}+\sin {{\theta }_{3}})}^{2}}}<3\]
