The base BC of `DeltaABC` is fixed and the vertex A moves, satisfying the condition `cot.(B)/(2) + cot.(C)/(2) = 2 cot.(A)/(2)`, then
A. `b + c = a`
B. `b + c = 2a`
C. vertex A moves along a straight line
D. vertex A moves along an ellipse
A. `b + c = a`
B. `b + c = 2a`
C. vertex A moves along a straight line
D. vertex A moves along an ellipse
Correct Answer – B::D
Given `(s(s-b))/(Delta) + ((s-c))/(Delta) = (2s(s-a))/(Delta)`
`rArr s-b + s – c = 2 (s-a)`
`rArr b+c = 2a`
So, locus of vertex A is an ellipse
