Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{3} a\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A, B, C\) in AP \(\implies B=60^\circ\). \(r_3^2=r_1 r_2+r_2 r_3+r_3 r_1 \implies r_3^2 = s^2 \implies r_3 = s\). \(r_3 = \frac{\Delta}{s-c} \implies s = \frac{\Delta}{s-c} \implies s(s-c) = \Delta\). \(s^2(s-c)^2 = s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) \implies s(s-c) = (s-a)(s-b)\).…
