    In \[\Delta \,\,ABC\] if \[si{{n}^{2}}A+si{{n}^{2}}B+si{{n}^{2}}C=2,\]then the triangle is

    A)  right angled, but need not be isosceles

    B)  right angled and isosceles

    C)  isosceles, but need not be right angled

    D)  equilateral

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given,  \[{{\sin }^{2}}A+{{\sin }^{2}}B+{{\sin }^{2}}C=2\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[1-{{\cos }^{2}}A+1-{{\cos }^{2}}B+1-{{\cos }^{2}}C=2\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[1={{\cos }^{2}}A+{{\cos }^{2}}B+{{\cos }^{2}}C\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[1=1-2\cos A\,\cos B\,\cos C\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\cos A\,\cos B\,\cos \,C=0\] At least one angle should be \[{{90}^{o}}\] and sum of two angles should be \[{{90}^{o}}\]. Hence, option [a] is correct.
