Detailed Solution

Given that the least area of a circle is circumscribing any right triangle of area 

It is required to find the area of S

Assume that the sides of the triangle are a,b,2r

Area=S=12× Base × Height

S=ab2

Hence, b=2Sa and the radius is,

(2r)2=a2+b2

4r2=a2+b2 r2=a2+b24

Evaluate the area of the circle.

A=πr2 A=π4a2+b2 A=π4a2+2Sa2 A=π4a2+4S2a2

Differentiate with respect to a

dAda=π42a-8S2a3 dAda=π42a4-8S2a3

The minima are obtained where dAda=0

π42a4-8S2a3=0 2a4-8S2=0 2a2-2Sa2+2S=0 a2=2S a22=S

Evaluate the value of b.

b=2Sa

b=a2a

b=a

Then, the area of the circle is given by

A=π4a2+b2

A=π4(2S+2S)

A=4π4S

A=πS

Hence, If the least area of a circle circumscribing any right triangle of area then S is equal to πs.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.
