Correct Option - 2
Detailed Solution:

From option let it be isosceles where AB = AC then

x = r 2 ( h r ) 2            

 =   r 2 h 2 r 2 + 2 r h

x = 2 h r h 2 . . . . . . . . ( i )        

Now ar ( Δ A B C ) = Δ = 1 2 B C * A L

Δ = 1 2 * 2 2 h r a 2 * h       

then   x = 2 * 3 r 2 * r 9 r 2 4 = 3 2 r f r o m ( i )

B C = 3 r      

So . A B = h 2 + x 2 = 9 r 2 4 + 3 r 2 4 = 3 r

Hence Δ be equilateral having each side of length 3 r .

It's difficult but in some colleges you may can get 

  a + 5 b  is collinear with c  

  a + 5 b = c           …(1)

b + 6 c is collinear with a  

⇒   b + 6 c = μ a               …(2)

From (1) and (2)

  b + 6 c = μ ( λ c 5 b )          

-> ( 1 + 5 μ ) b + ( 6 λ μ ) c = 0
