    The circumradius of the triangle formed by the three lines \[y+3x-5=0;y=x\] and \[3y-x+10=0\] is

    A) \[\frac{25}{4\sqrt{2}}\]

    B) \[\frac{25}{3\sqrt{2}}\]

    C) \[\frac{25}{2\sqrt{2}}\]

    D) \[\frac{25}{\sqrt{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Two of the given lines \[y+3x-5=0\] and \[3y-x+10=0\] are \[\bot \] to each other, so the triangle is right angled and it circumradius is half the hypotenuse, \[y=x\] intersects other two lines in \[\left( \frac{5}{4},\frac{5}{4} \right)\] and \[(-5,-5),\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,Circumradius=\frac{1}{2}\left[ \sqrt{{{\left( -5-\frac{5}{4} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( -5-\frac{5}{4} \right)}^{2}}} \right]\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\left[ \sqrt{\frac{625}{16}+\frac{625}{16}} \right]=\frac{1}{2}\left[ \frac{25\sqrt{2}}{4} \right]=\frac{25}{4\sqrt{2}}\]
