    In a \[\Delta ABC,\]if \[3a=b+c,\]then the value of \[\cot \frac{B}{2}\cot \frac{C}{2}\] is [Pb. CET 2003; Roorkee 1986; MP PET 1990, 97, 98, 2003; EAMCET 2003; Orissa JEE 2005]

    A) 1

    B) 2

    C) \[\sqrt{3}\]

    D) \[\sqrt{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\cot \frac{B}{2}.\cot \frac{C}{2}=\sqrt{\frac{s(s-b)}{(s-a)\,(s-c)}.\frac{s(s-c)}{(s-a)\,(s-b)}}\] =\[\frac{s}{s-a}\] ,  {Since \[3a=b+c\] or \[a+b+c=2s=4a\}\] = \[2a/a=2\].
