    If one angle is the average of the other two angles and the difference between the greatest and least angles is \[60{}^\circ ,\] which triangle is formed?

    A)  An isosceles triangle.               

    B)  An equilateral triangle.

    C)  A right angled triangle.          

    D)  A right angled isosceles triangle.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    (c): Mind of a Mathematician: Let \[\angle les\] be \[x-\alpha ,\text{ }x,\text{ }x,+\text{ }\alpha \] (we can choose such variables intelligently ; by making such choice, middle angle is automatically average of first and third angles): Now difference \[=(x+\alpha )-(x-\alpha )=2\alpha =60{}^\circ \] Also sum of \[\angle les\] \[=x-\alpha +x+x+\alpha \] \[=3x=180{}^\circ \] \[=x=60{}^\circ \] \[=x-\alpha =30{}^\circ \] \[=x=60{}^\circ \] \[=x+\alpha =90{}^\circ \] \[=\angle right\,\,\Delta \,\,le.\]
