The correct answer is: 4R

For ABC, exradii r1=s-ar2=s-br1=s-c and inradius r=s, where s is the semi-perimeter of the triangle and r is the radius of in-circle.

And, =s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)=abc4R

Now, r1+r2+r3-r

=s-a+s-b+s-c-s

=×ss-bs-c+ss-as-c+ss-as-b-s-as-bs-cs(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)

=×ss-bs-c+ss-as-c+ss-as-b-s-as-bs-c2

=ss-cs-b+s-a+s-as-bs-s-c

=css-c+cs-as-b

=cs2-sc+s2-as-bs+ab

=c2s2-s·2s+ab

=abc

=4R
