If from a variable point P representingthe complex number z_(1) on the curve |z|=4, two tangentsare drawn to thecurve |z|=2, meeting it at points Q(z_(2)) and R(z_(3)), then which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?

Answer»

Triangle , PQR is isosceles.
The locus of centroid of triangle PQR is |z|=1.
The circumradium of triangle PQR is 2.
The radiusof circle inscribed in triangle PQR is 1.

Solution :
`:.` From above figure , `cos ( anglePOR)=(OR)/(OP)(2)/(4)=(1)/(2)`
`rArr angle POR=(pi)/(3)=anglePOQ rArr angle OPR= angle OPQ=30^(@)`
`rArr angleQPR=60^(@) " ".....(1)`
ALSO, in `DeltaPQR, PQ=PR "" .....(2)`
`:.` From (1) and (2) , we get
`DeltaPQR` is equilateral `rArr` (A) is INCORRECT.
Also, PQOR are CONCYCLIC and `angleOQP and angleORP = 90^(@)`.
So, circumcentre of `DeltaPQR` passes through O(0,0) and OP is diameter of it.
So, circumcentre of `DeltaPQR` = mid POINT of OP
`=((0+4 cos theta)/(2),(0+4 sin theta)/(2))=(2cos theta, 2 sin theta)`
=centroid of `DeltaPQR` [As, `DeltaPQR` is equilateral.]
`:.` The locus of centroid of `DeltaPQR` is |z|=2 `rArr` (B) isincorrect.
Also, circumradius of `DeltaPQR=(OP)/(2)=(4)/(2)=2rArr` (C) is correct.
As, `r=(R)/(2)=(2)/(2)=1` (As, `DeltaPQR` is equilateral.)
`rArr` radius of circle inscribed in `DeltaPQR` is 1. `rArr` (D) is correct.]
