Detailed Solution

If the angle between F1 and F2 is θ

Question Image
\large (2F)^2=F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2cos(\pi-\theta)
\large 4F^2=F_1^2+F_2^2-2F_1F_2cos\theta..................(2)
\large Also , (2F)^2=F_1^2+(2F_2)^2+2F_1(2F_2).cos\theta
\large \Rightarrow 4F^2=F_1^2+4F_2^2+4F_1F_2cos\theta.......(3)
\large Solving , F_1=F,F_2=\frac {\sqrt3.F}{\sqrt2}

Hence, the ratio is 2:3:2
