Question : $\triangle$ PQR circumscribes a circle with centre O and radius r cm such that $\angle$ PQR = $90^{\circ}$. If PQ = 3 cm, QR = 4 cm, then the value of r is:
Option 1: 2
Option 2: 1.5
Option 3: 2.5
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : PQ = 3 cm, QR = 4 cm OB = OA = OC = r Since tangents drawn from a point to the circle are equal, AQ = QB = $r$ ⇒ PA = PC = $3-r$ ⇒ RC = RB = $4-r$ By Pythagoras theorem, PR 2 = QR 2 + PQ 2 ⇒ PR = $\sqrt{9+16}$ = 5 cm ⇒ PR = PC + CR ⇒ 5 = $3-r$ + $4-r$ ⇒ $2r$ = 7–5 = 2 ⇒ $r$ = 1 cm Hence, the correct answer is 1.
