If a,b and c also represent the sides of a triangle and a,b,c are in g.p then the complete set of `alpha^2 = (r^2 +r +1)/(r^2-r+1)`isA. `(1/3,3)`B. (2,3)C. `[1/3,2]`D. `(sqrt(5+3)/2,3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Let b=ar,c=`ar^(2)andrgt0`
As the sum of two sides is more than the third side, we have
`rin((sqrt5-1)/2,(sqrt5+1)/2)` - {1}
`rArrr+1/r-1in(1,sqrt5-1)`
As `alpha^(2)=(r^(2)+r+1)/(r^(2)-r+1)=1+2/(r+1/r-1)`
`thereforealpha^(2)in((sqrt5+3)/2,3)`
