    If in a \[\Delta ABC,\cos A\operatorname{sinB}=sinC\] then the value of \[\tan \frac{A}{2},\] if \[3b-5c=0\], is

    A) 0.5

    B) 0.75

    C) 0.33

    D) \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[\cos A\sin B=\sin C\Rightarrow \sin (A+B)-sin(A-B)=2sinC\]\[\Rightarrow \sin C=\sin (B-A)\Rightarrow A+C=B\] \[(\because \,\,\,A+B=\pi -C)\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,B=\frac{\pi }{2}\] Now \[3b-5c=0\Rightarrow 3-5\sin C=0\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\sin C=\frac{3}{5}\,\,and\,\,A=\frac{\pi }{2}-C\] \[\Rightarrow \cos A=\sin C\Rightarrow \frac{1-{{\tan }^{2}}\frac{A}{2}}{1+{{\tan }^{2}}\frac{A}{2}}=\frac{3}{5}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,{{\tan }^{2}}\frac{A}{2}=\frac{1}{4}\Rightarrow \tan \frac{A}{2}=0.5\]
