Let \(\mathrm{p}_1, \mathrm{p}_2, \mathrm{p}_3\) be the altitudes of a triangle ABC drawn through the vertices \(\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}\) respectively. If \(r_1=4, r_2=6, r_3=12\) are the ex-radii of triangle ABC then \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{p}_1^2}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{p}_2^2}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{p}_3^2}=\)

  1. A \(\frac{25}{72}\)
  2. B \(\frac{25}{144}\)
  3. C \(\frac{25}{288}\)
  4. D \(\frac{25}{216}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{25}{288}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{1}{r} = \frac{1}{r_1} + \frac{1}{r_2} + \frac{1}{r_3}\) \(\frac{1}{r} = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{12} = \frac{3+2+1}{12} = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}\) \(\frac{1}{r^2} = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{4}\)…
