     The angles A, B and C of a triangle ABC are in AP. If  \[b:c=\sqrt{3}:\sqrt{2},\] then the angle A is

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

    B)  \[{{15}^{o}}\]

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

    D)  \[{{45}^{o}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Since A, B, C are in AP. \[\therefore \]  \[B=\frac{A+C}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[B={{90}^{o}}-\frac{B}{2}\]        \[(\therefore \,A+B+C={{180}^{o}})\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[B={{60}^{o}}\]               Using sine rule,  \[\frac{\sin \,B}{b}=\frac{\sin C}{c}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{\sin {{60}^{o}}}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{\sin \,C}{\sqrt{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{3}}=\frac{\sin C}{\sqrt{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sin C=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[C={{45}^{o}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[A={{180}^{o}}-({{60}^{o}}+{{45}^{o}})\]                 \[={{75}^{o}}\]
