    If \[{{\tan }^{2}}\alpha {{\tan }^{2}}\beta +{{\tan }^{2}}\beta {{\tan }^{2}}\gamma +{{\tan }^{2}}\gamma {{\tan }^{2}}\alpha \]\[+2{{\tan }^{2}}\alpha {{\tan }^{2}}\beta {{\tan }^{2}}\gamma =1,\]then the value of\[{{\sin }^{2}}\alpha +{{\sin }^{2}}\beta +{{\sin }^{2}}\gamma \]is  

    A) 0

    B) -1

    C) 1

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{\sin }^{2}}\alpha +{{\sin }^{2}}\beta +{{\sin }^{2}}\gamma \] \[=\frac{{{\tan }^{2}}\alpha }{1+{{\tan }^{2}}\alpha }+\frac{{{\tan }^{2}}\beta }{1+{{\tan }^{2}}\beta }+\frac{{{\tan }^{2}}\gamma }{1+{{\tan }^{2}}\gamma }\] \[=\frac{x}{1+x}+\frac{y}{1+y}+\frac{z}{1+z}\] \[(x={{\tan }^{2}}\alpha ,\,y={{\tan }^{2}}\beta ,\,z={{\tan }^{2}}\gamma )\] \[=\frac{(x+y+z)+(xy+yz+zx+2xyz)+xy+yz+zx+xyz}{(1+x)(1+y)(1+z)}\] \[=\frac{1+x+y+z+xy+yz+zx+xyz}{(1+x)(1+y)(1+z)}=1\]   \[(\because xy+yz+zx+2xyz=1)\]
