The distinct points

A\left( {0,\;0} \right),\;B\left( {0,\;1} \right),\;C\left( {1,\;0} \right)

and

D\left( {2a,\;3a} \right)

are concyclic, then

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

a

' can attain only rational values

The correct answer is A. Since the points A, B, C, and D are concyclic and A, B, and C form a right-angled triangle, the circle's equation can be found, and the condition for D to lie on it leads to rational values for 'a'.
