    In any triangle ABC, \[a\cot A+b\cot B+c\cot C=\]

    A) \[r+R\]

    B) \[r-R\]

    C) \[2(r+R)\]

    D) \[2(r-R)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[a\cot A+b\cot B+c\cot C\] = \[2R(\sin A\cot A+\sin B\cot B+\sin C\cot C)\] = \[2R(\cos A+\cos B+\cos C)\] =\[2R\left( 1+4\sin \frac{A}{2}\sin \frac{B}{2}\sin \frac{C}{2} \right)=2R\left( 1+\frac{r}{R} \right)=2\,(R+r)\].
