    If in a \[\Delta ABC\], \[\cos 3A+\cos 3B+\cos 3C=1\], then one angle must be exactly equal to

    A) \[{{90}^{o}}\]

    B) \[{{45}^{o}}\]

    C) \[{{120}^{o}}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Since \[\cos 3A+\cos 3B+\cos 3C=1\] Þ \[4\sin \frac{3A}{2}\sin \frac{3B}{2}\sin \frac{3C}{2}=0\] Either \[\frac{3A}{2}={{180}^{o}}\]or \[\frac{3B}{2}={{180}^{o}}\]or \[\frac{3C}{2}={{180}^{o}}\] Either \[A={{120}^{o}}\]or \[B={{120}^{o}}\]or \[C={{120}^{o}}\].
