C
Option (c)
Let a = side, h = height,
Since no conditions are mentioned and only variables are used, we can assume an equilateral triangle.
Let r =1. Then R = 2., h = 3. In an equilateral triangle r : R : h = 1 : 2 : 3
Side a = 2 √3; Area= √34 a2 = 3√3.
1h1=1h2=1h3=13. Sum = 1
Only option c gives 1.
