    In a \[\Delta ABC\] if the sides are \[a=3,b=5\] and\[c=4\], then \[\sin \frac{B}{2}+\cos \frac{B}{2}\] is equal to :

    A)  \[\sqrt{2}\]                                       

    B)  \[\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2}\]

    C)  \[\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2}\]                

    D)  1

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We know,                 \[\cos B=\frac{{{a}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}}{2ac}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\cos B=\frac{{{3}^{2}}+{{4}^{2}}-{{5}^{2}}}{2\,(3)\,(4)}=\frac{9+16-25}{2\,(3)\,(4)}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[B={{90}^{o}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\sin \frac{B}{2}+\cos \frac{B}{2}=\sin {{45}^{o}}+\cos {{45}^{o}}\]                 \[=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2}\]
