MCQ
Let $a, b, c$ be the sides of a triangle. If $t$ denotes the expression $\frac{\left(a^2+b^2+c^2\right)}{(a b+b c+c a)}$, the set of all possible values of $t$ is
  • A
    $\{x \in R \mid x>1\}$
  • B
    $\{x \in R \mid 1 < x < 2\}$
  • $\{x \in R \mid 1 \leq x<2\}$
  • D
    $\{x \in R \mid 1 \leq x \leq 2\}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\{x \in R \mid 1 \leq x<2\}$
c
(c)

Let $a, b, c$ be the sides of a triangle.

$\therefore \quad a^2+b^2 \geq 2 a b \quad[\because AM \geq GM ]$

Similarly, $b^2+c^2 \geq 2 b c$

$c^2+a^2 \geq 2 a c$

$\Rightarrow 2\left(a^2+b^2+c^2\right) \geq 2(a b+b c+c a)$

$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{a^2+b^2+c^2}{a b+b c+a c} \geq 1$

$t \geq 1 \quad\left[\because \frac{a^2+b^2+c^2}{a b+b c+a c}=t\right]$

$\because a, b, c$ be the side of a triangle.

$\begin{aligned} a+b>c \\ & \quad|a|>|c-b| \\ a \end{aligned}$

$\Rightarrow \quad a^2 > (c-b)^2$

$\Rightarrow \quad a^2 > c^2+b^2-2 b c$

$\Rightarrow \quad b^2+c^2-a^2<2 b c$

Similarly, $a^2+b^2-c^2 < 2 a b$

and $\quad c^2+a^2-b^2 < 2 a c$

On adding Eqs.$(i), (ii)$ and $(iii)$, we get

$a^2+b^2+c^2 < 2(a b+b c+c a)$

$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{a^2+b^2+c^2}{a b+b c+c a} < 2$

$\therefore \quad t < 2$

$\therefore \quad\{x \in R \mid 1 \leq x < 2\}$
