    The incentre of the triangle with vertices              \[(1,\sqrt{3})\], (0, 0) and (2,0) is   AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2002

    A) \[\left( 1,\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)\]

    B)                          \[\left( \frac{2}{3},\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right)\]         

    C)           \[\left( \frac{2}{3},\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)\]         

    D)           \[\left( 1,\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    If the triangle is equilateral, then incentre is coincide with centroid of the triangle. Let A \[(1,\sqrt{3})\], B(0, 0) and C(2, 0) be the vertices of a \[\Delta ABC\]. \[\therefore \]     \[a=BC=\sqrt{{{(2-0)}^{2}}+{{(0-0)}^{2}}}=2\]                    \[b=AC=\sqrt{{{(2-1)}^{2}}+{{(0-\sqrt{3})}^{2}}}=2\]              and            \[c=AB=\sqrt{{{(0-1)}^{2}}+{{(0-\sqrt{3})}^{2}}}=2\] \[\therefore \] The triangle is an equilateral triangle. \[\therefore \] Incentre is same as centroid of the triangle. \[\Rightarrow \] Coordinates of incentre are \[\left( \frac{1+0+2}{3},\frac{\sqrt{3}+0+0}{3} \right)\] i.e., \[\left( 1,\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right)\].
