Let `Q = (3,sqrt(5)),R =(7,3sqrt(5))`. A point P in the XY-plane varies in such a way that perimeter of `DeltaPQR` is 16. Then the maximum area of `DeltaPQR` isA. 6B. 12C. 18D. 9 |

Answer» Correct Answer - B P lies on the ellipse for which Q and R are foci such that `QR = 2ae =6` and `2a =` perimeter of triangle `-2ae = 16 - 6 = 10` `:. a = 5` and `e = 3//5`, also `b^(2) = a^(2) -a^(2) e^(2) = 25 -9 = 16` `b = 4` Maximum area of triangle `=(1)/(2) (2ae)(b) = 12` sq. units |
