  • question_answer
    If in a triangle the angles are in A. P. and \[b:c=\sqrt{3}:\sqrt{2}\], then \[\angle A\]is equal to  [IIT 1981; Kurukshetra CEE 1998; Pb. CET 1990]

    A) \[{{30}^{o}}\]

    B) \[{{60}^{o}}\]

    C) \[{{15}^{o}}\]

    D) \[{{75}^{o}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Since the angles are in A.P., therefore \[B={{60}^{o}}\] and \[\frac{b}{c}=\frac{\sin B}{\sin C}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2\sin C}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}\] Þ \[C={{45}^{o}}\]so that \[A={{180}^{o}}-{{60}^{o}}-{{45}^{o}}={{75}^{o}}\].
