If in a P Q R, P ; Q, R are in A P , then
Options
- Athe altitudes are in AP
- Bthe altitudes are in HP
- Cthe medians are in GP
- Dthe medians are in AP
Correct answer
B. the altitudes are in HP
Step-by-step solution
By sine rule array ll & a P = b Q = c R =k Also, & 1 2 a p₁= & 2 a =p₁ & p₁= 2 k P array Similarly, p₁= 2 k Q and p₃= 2 k R Since, P, Q, R are in AP. 1 P 1 Q , 1 R are in H P 2 k P , 2 k Q , 2 k R are in HP p₁, p₂, p₃ are in HP.
