Let A(α, -2), B(α, 6) and C(\(\frac{\alpha}{4}\), -2) be vertices of a ΔABC. If (5, \(\frac{\alpha}{4}\)) is the circumcentre of ΔABC, then which of the following is NOT correct about ΔABC?
- Area is 24
- Perimeter is 25
- Circumradius is 5
- Inradius is 2
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
=(\(\alpha+\frac{\frac{\alpha}{4}}{2}\),\(\frac{6-2}{2}\))
=(\(\frac{5\alpha}{8}\), 2)
=(5,\(\frac{\alpha}{4}\))
⇒α=8
Area (ΔABC)=\(\frac{1}{2}\)⋅3α4×8=24 sq. units
Perimeter =8+\(\frac{3\alpha}{4}\)+\(\sqrt{82}\)+(\(\frac{3\alpha}{4}^2\))
=8+6+10=24
Circumradius=\(\frac{10}{2}\)=5
r=\(\frac{\Delta}{s}\)
r=\(\frac{24}{12}\)
r=2
So, the correct option is (B): Perimeter is 25.

In a Young's double slit experiment, three polarizers are kept as shown in the figure. The transmission axes of \( P_1 \) and \( P_2 \) are orthogonal to each other. The polarizer \( P_3 \) covers both the slits with its transmission axis at \( 45^\circ \) to those of \( P_1 \) and \( P_2 \). An unpolarized light of wavelength \( \lambda \) and intensity \( I_0 \) is incident on \( P_1 \) and \( P_2 \). The intensity at a point after \( P_3 \), where the path difference between the light waves from \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \) is \( \frac{\lambda}{3} \), is:

Concepts Used:
Horizontal and vertical lines
Horizontal Lines:
- A horizontal line is a sleeping line that means "side-to-side".
- These are the lines drawn from left to right or right to left and are parallel to the x-axis.
Equation of the horizontal line:
In all cases, horizontal lines remain parallel to the x-axis. It never intersects the x-axis but only intersects the y-axis. The value of x can change, but y always tends to be constant for horizontal lines.
Vertical Lines:
- A vertical line is a standing line that means "up-to-down".
- These are the lines drawn up and down and are parallel to the y-axis.
Equation of vertical Lines:
The equation for the vertical line is represented as x=a,
Here, ‘a’ is the point where this line intersects the x-axis.
x is the respective coordinates of any point lying on the line, this represents that the equation is not dependent on y.
⇒ Horizontal lines and vertical lines are perpendicular to each other.
