SSC CGL Tier II Quant - 17/02/2018 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q23

ABC is a right angled triangle. ∠BAC = 90° and ∠ACB = 60°. What is the ratio of the circum radius of the triangle to the side AB?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 1 : √3

Circumradius = hypotenuse/2

sin60° = AB/BC

⇒ √3/2 = AB/H

⇒ √3/2 = AB/2R

⇒ R = AB/√3

⇒ R/AB = 1/√3
