- A
- B4
- C2
- D3
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Place the triangle conveniently using coordinates
Let Then
- Find the coordinates of points using the given ratios
Point on
Given So divides internally in the ratio . Using section formula,
Point on
Given So divides internally in the ratio . Since and ,
Point on
Given So divides internally in the ratio . Hence
- Find the area of
Using the determinant formula,
Substitute:
So,
=\frac12\left|\frac{4qr}{9}-\frac{qr}{9}\right|=rac12\cdot\frac{3qr}{9}=rac{qr}{6}.
- Compute the required ratio
