    In a \[\Delta ABC,\,a,c,A\]are given and \[{{b}_{1}},{{b}_{2}}\]are two values, if the third side b such that \[{{b}_{2}}=2{{b}_{1}}\]then sin A is equal to

    A) \[\sqrt{\frac{9{{a}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}}{8{{a}^{2}}}}\]

    B)         \[\sqrt{\frac{9{{a}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}}{8{{c}^{2}}}}\]

    C)         \[\sqrt{\frac{9{{a}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}}{8{{a}^{2}}}}\]              

    D)         none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We have \[\cos A=\frac{{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}}{2bc}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{b}^{2}}-2bc\,\cos A+({{c}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}})=0\] It is given that \[{{b}_{1}}\] and \[{{b}_{2}}\]are the roots of this equation. Therefore, \[{{b}_{1}}+{{b}_{2}}=2c\,\cos \,A\] and      \[{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}}={{c}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[3{{b}_{1}}=2c\cos A\]and \[2b_{1}^{2}={{c}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}\]                                 \[[\because \,{{b}_{2}}=2{{b}_{1}}]\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2{{\left( \frac{2c}{3}\cos A \right)}^{2}}={{c}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[8{{c}^{2}}(1-si{{n}^{2}}A)=9{{c}^{2}}-9+9{{a}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sin \,A=\sqrt{\frac{9{{a}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}}{8{{c}^{2}}}}\]
