    In\[\Delta \,ABC\],\[({{b}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}})\cot A+({{c}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}})\cot B+({{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}})\cot C=\]

    A) 0

    B) \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}\]

    C) \[2\,({{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}})\]

    D) \[\frac{1}{2abc}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     \[({{b}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}})\cot A=({{b}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}})\frac{\cos A}{\sin A}=\frac{({{b}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}})({{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}})}{2bc.ka}\] Hence L.H.S. \[=\frac{1}{2k\,\,abc}\] \[[({{b}^{4}}-{{c}^{4}})+({{c}^{4}}-{{a}^{4}})+({{a}^{4}}-{{b}^{4}})-\{{{a}^{2}}({{b}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}})\] \[+{{b}^{2}}({{c}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}})+{{c}^{2}}({{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}})\}]=0\].
