    In a triangle\[ABC,\]\[a=4,b=3\], \[\angle A={{60}^{o}}\]. Then c is the root of the equation                       [Roorkee 1993]

    A) \[{{c}^{2}}-3c-7=0\]

    B) \[{{c}^{2}}+3c+7=0\]

    C) \[{{c}^{2}}-3c+7=0\]

    D) \[{{c}^{2}}+3c-7=0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\cos A=\frac{({{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}})}{2bc}\] \[\Rightarrow \cos {{60}^{o}}=\frac{1}{2}=\frac{9+{{c}^{2}}-16}{2.3c}\]Þ \[{{c}^{2}}-3c-7=0\].
