    In an equilateral triangle, the in radius, circumradius and one of the exradii are in the ratio

    A)  \[2:3:5\]

    B)  \[1:2:3\]

    C)  \[1:3:7\]

    D)  \[3:7:9\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We have, \[\Delta =\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}{{a}^{2}},s=\frac{3a}{2}\] \[\therefore \]In radius \[r=\frac{\Delta }{s}=\frac{a}{2\sqrt{3}}\] Circumradius \[R=\frac{abc}{4\Delta }=\frac{{{a}^{3}}}{\sqrt{3}{{a}^{2}}}=\frac{a}{\sqrt{3}}\] and exradii \[{{r}_{1}}=\frac{\Delta }{s-a}=\frac{\sqrt{3}\text{/}4{{a}^{2}}}{a\text{/}2}\] \[=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a\] \[\therefore \]Required ratio\[=r:R:{{r}_{1}}\] \[=\frac{a}{2\sqrt{3}}:\frac{a}{\sqrt{3}}:\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a\] \[=1:2:3\]
