I am taking r=Inradius and R = C i r c u m r a d i u s
A O = R because A O is the circumradius and D I = r because it is the inradius.
In the right triangle A D I we have
s i n ( A / 2 ) = A I D I = A I r ⇒ A I = r c o s e c ( A / 2 ) ( i )
By euler's theorom distance between incentre and circumcentre is
O I 2 = R 2 − 2 R r ( i i )
Given A I O 0 ≤ 9 0 0 we have c o s ( A I O ) ≥ 0
Applying cosine rule in triangle A I O we get 2 . A O . O I ( A I 2 + O I 2 − A 0 2 ) = c o s ( A I O ) ≥ 0
Hence we have A I 2 + I O 2 ≥ A O 2
Putting values we get r 2 c o s e c 2 ( A / 2 ) + ( R 2 − 2 R r ) ≥ R 2 ⇒ r c o s e c 2 ( A / 2 ) ≥ 2 R ⇒ r ≥ 2 R s i n 2 ( A / 2 )
Using r = ( s − a ) t a n ( A / 2 ) a n d 2 R = a / s i n ( A ) we get
⇒ ( s − a ) t a n ( A / 2 ) s i n ( A ) ≥ a s i n 2 ( A / 2 ) ⇒ 2 ( s − a ) ≥ a ⇒ ( a + b + c ) − 2 a ≥ a ⇒ 2 b + c ≥ a
Putting the values b = 1 0 2 , c = 1 0 0 we get a ≤ 1 0 1
So a m a x = 1 0 1
