In $\triangle A B C$, with usual notation, observe the two statements given below : (I) $r r_1 r_2 r_3=\Delta^2$ (II) $r_1 r_2+r_2 r_3+r_3 r_1=s^2$ Which of the following is correct?
  1. Both I and II are true
  2. I is true, II is false
  3. I is false, II is true
  4. Both I and II are false

Solution

We know that $\Delta^2=r r_1 r_2 r_3$ and $s^2=r_1 r_2+r_2 r_3+r_3 r_1$ So, both the statements are true.
