Then answer the following questions : If ODEI is a square where O and I stands for circumcentre and incentre, respectively and D and E are the point of perpendicular from O and I on the base BC, thenA. `(r )/(R )=(3)/(8)`B. `(r )/(R )=2-sqrt(3)`C. `(r )/(R )=sqrt(2)-1`D. `(r )/(R )=(1)/(4)` |

Answer» Correct Answer - C ODEI is a square , hence, OD = OI Now, `OI = sqrt(R^(2)-2Rr)` `therefore sqrt(R^(2)-2Rr) = R cos A` `rArr R^(2)-2Rr = R^(2)cos^(2)A` or `1-cos^(2)A=(2r)/(R )` Also `cos A = (r )/(R )` `rArr 1-((r )/(R ))^(2)=(2r)/(R )` `rArr ((r )/(R ))^(2)+(2r)/(R )-1=0` `rArr (r )/(R )= sqrt(2)-1`  |
