Let us consider a triangle$\Delta abc$, where $a,b,c$ are the sides of triangle Given $c$ is the length of the third side of the triangle, then $a,b$ be the other two sides of the triangle. Given sum of lengths of two sides = $x$ $a + b = x \to (1)$ And also given product of length of same two sides = $y$ $ab = y \to (2)$ Given condition $ \Rightarrow $${x^2} - {y^2} = {c^2}$ Let us substitute the $x$ and $y$ values in the above equation $ \Rightarrow {(a + b)^2} - {c^2} = ab \\ \Rightarrow {a^2} + {b^2} + 2ab - {c^2} = ab \\ \Rightarrow {a^2} + {b^2} - {c^2} = ab - 2ab \\ \Rightarrow {a^2} + {b^2} - {c^2} = - ab \\ $ Let us divide with $2ab$on both sides we get $ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{{a^2} + {b^2} - {c^2}}}{{2ab}} = \dfrac{{ - ab}}{{2ab}} \\ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{{a^2} + {b^2} - {c^2}}}{{2ab}} = \dfrac{{ - 1}}{2} \to (3) \\ $ Apply the cosine rule formula where $COSC = \dfrac{{{a^2} + {b^2} - c2}}{{2ab}}$ From the cosine rule we can rewrite the equation $'3'as$ $ COSC = \dfrac{{ - 1}}{2} \\ \angle C = \dfrac{{2\pi }}{3} \\ $ We know that circumradius of triangle is $R = \dfrac{C}{{2SINC}}$ On substituting the value we get $R = \dfrac{C}{{\sqrt 3 }}$ Therefore circumradius of triangle is $R = \dfrac{C}{{\sqrt 3 }}$ ( B) is the correct option NOTE: Make a note that after substituting the value in the given condition we have divided the equation with $2ab$ on both sides, where we directly get the required value of circumradius after applying cosine rule.
