JEE Main 2024 — 6 April, Shift 1 — Question 15

A circle in inscribed in an equilateral triangle of side of length 12 . If the area and perimeter of any square inscribed in this circle are m and n , respectively, then m+n2m+\mathrm{n}^{2} is equal to

  1. Option A:

    396

  2. Option B:

    408

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    312

  4. Option D:

    414

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

∵r=Δs=3a24⋅3a2=a23=1223=23\because \mathrm{r}=\frac{\Delta}{\mathrm{s}}=\frac{\sqrt{3} \mathrm{a}^{2}}{4 \cdot \frac{3 \mathrm{a}}{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{a}}{2 \sqrt{3}}=\frac{12}{2 \sqrt{3}}=2 \sqrt{3}

∴A=r2=26\therefore \mathbf{A}=\mathrm{r} \sqrt{2}=2 \sqrt{6}

Area =m=A2=24=m=A^{2}=24

Perimeter =n=4 A=86=\mathrm{n}=4 \mathrm{~A}=8 \sqrt{6}

∴m+n2=24+384\therefore \mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n}^{2}=24+384

=408=408
