AB is a diameter of a circle and C is any point on the circumference of the circle. Then,
- the area of $?$ ABC is maximum when it is isosceles
- the area of $?$ ABC is minimum when it is isosceles
- the perimeter of $?$ ABC is minimum when it is isosceles
- None of the above
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Now, area of triangle is maximum when A C = BC.
i.e. Triangle is right angled isosceles.

Questions Asked in JEE Advanced exam
The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $. The correct expression for $ \omega $ is ( $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity):
