Question

For a triangle ABCABC, the value of cos2A+cos2B+cos2C\cos 2A + \cos 2B + \cos 2C is least. If its inradius is 3 and incentre is M, then which of the following is NOT correct?

Options

Solution

If cos2 A+cos2 B+cos2C\cos 2 \mathrm{~A}+\cos 2 \mathrm{~B}+\cos 2 \mathrm{C} is minimum then A=\mathrm{A}= B=C=60\mathrm{B}=\mathrm{C}=60^{\circ} So ABC\triangle \mathrm{ABC} is equilateral Now in-radias r=3r=3 So in MBD\triangle \mathrm{MBD} we have tan30=MDBD=ra/2=6a1/3=1a=a=63\begin{aligned} & \operatorname{tan} 30^{\circ}=\frac{M D}{B D}=\frac{r}{a / 2}=\frac{6}{a} \\\\ & 1 / \sqrt{3}=\frac{1}{a}=a=6 \sqrt{3} \end{aligned} Perimeter of ABC=183\triangle \mathrm{ABC}=18 \sqrt{3} Area of ABC=34a2=273\triangle \mathrm{ABC}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2=27 \sqrt{3}
