    The angles of a triangle are in Arithmetic Progression. The ratio of the least angles in degrees to the number of radians in the greatest angle is \[60:\pi .\] The angles (in degrees) are                                                                    [SSC (CGL) 2012]

    A) \[30{}^\circ ,\]\[60{}^\circ ,\]\[90{}^\circ \]

    B) \[35{}^\circ ,\]\[55{}^\circ ,\]\[90{}^\circ \]

    C) \[40{}^\circ ,\]\[50{}^\circ ,\]\[90{}^\circ \]                  

    D) \[40{}^\circ ,\]\[55{}^\circ ,\]\[85{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the angles of a triangle in AP be
    \[(a-d){}^\circ ,\]\[a{}^\circ ,\]\[(a+d){}^\circ .\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[a-d+a+a+d=180{}^\circ \]
    [since, sum of all angles of triangle is \[180{}^\circ \]]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[3a=180{}^\circ \]\[\Rightarrow \]\[a=60{}^\circ \]
    Now, given ratio of least angle to largest angle is \[60:\pi ,\]then
                            \[\frac{a-d}{a+b}=\frac{60{}^\circ }{\pi }=\frac{60{}^\circ }{180{}^\circ }=\frac{1}{3}\]
                \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{60{}^\circ -d}{60{}^\circ +d}=\frac{1}{3}\]
                \[\Rightarrow \]   \[180{}^\circ -3d=60{}^\circ +d\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[4d=120{}^\circ \]\[\Rightarrow \]\[d=30{}^\circ \]
    \[\therefore \]Angles of triangle are
    \[a-d=60{}^\circ -30{}^\circ =30{}^\circ \]
    \[a=60{}^\circ \]
    and       \[a+d=60{}^\circ +30{}^\circ =90{}^\circ \]
