  1. Let C1 and C2 be the inscribed and circumscribed circles of a triangle with sides 3cm, 4cm and 5cm then
    area of C1
    is
    area of C2

    1. 9/25
    2. 4/25
    3. 9/16
    4. 16/25
Correct Option: B

Using Rule 1 and 14,
It is a right angled triangle.

Radius of circum circle C2
= 5/2 cm. because
AC = Diameter of circle

Semi-perimeter of ∆ABC(s) =
3 + 4 + 5
= 6cm.
2

Area of ∆ABC =
1
× 3 × 4 = 6 sq.cm.
2

∴ In-radius =
=
6
= 1 cm.
