Question

Let sinAsinB=sin(AC)sin(CB){{\sin A} \over {\sin B}} = {{\sin (A - C)} \over {\sin (C - B)}}, where A, B, C are angles of triangle ABC. If the lengths of the sides opposite these angles are a, b, c respectively, then :

Options

Solution

sinAsinB=sin(AC)sin(CB){{\sin A} \over {\sin B}} = {{\sin (A - C)} \over {\sin (C - B)}} As A, B, C are angles of triangle. A + B + C = π\pi A = π\pi - (B + C) ...... (1) Similarly sinB = sin(A + C) ..... (2) From (1) and (2) sin(B+C)sin(A+C)=sin(AC)sin(CB){{\sin (B + C)} \over {\sin (A + C)}} = {{\sin (A - C)} \over {\sin (C - B)}} sin(C+B).sin(CB)=sin(AC)sin(A+C)\sin (C + B).\sin (C - B) = \sin (A - C)\sin (A + C) sin2Csin2B=sin2Asin2C{\sin ^2}C - {\sin ^2}B = {\sin ^2}A - {\sin ^2}C \because {sin(x+y)sin(xy)=sin2xsin2y}\{ \sin (x + y)\sin (x - y) = {\sin ^2}x - {\sin ^2}y\} 2sin2C=sin2A+sin2B2{\sin ^2}C = {\sin ^2}A + {\sin ^2}B By sine rule 2c2=a2+b22{c^2} = {a^2} + {b^2} \Rightarrow b 2 , c 2 and a 2 are in A.P.
