    A) \[5.72\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]                  

    B) \[0.93\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    C) \[1.86\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    D) \[3.22\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In B.C.C, \[4r=a\sqrt{3}\] \[r=\frac{4.29\sqrt{3}}{4}\] = \[1.857\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] = \[1.86\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]
