    If \[\sin (A+B+C)=1,\] then \[\tan (A-B)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\] and \[\sec (A+C)=2,\] find A, B and C respectively when they are acute.

    A) \[{{60}^{o}},{{0}^{o}},{{30}^{o}}\]             

    B) \[{{30}^{o}},{{60}^{o}},{{90}^{o}}\]

    C)         \[{{60}^{o}},{{30}^{o}},{{0}^{o}}\]

    D)         \[{{0}^{o}},{{60}^{o}},{{30}^{o}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We have,  \[\sin (A+B+C)=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[\sin (A+B+C)=\sin {{90}^{o}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[A+B+C={{90}^{o}}\]                ?.(i) Also, \[\tan (A-B)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\tan {{30}^{o}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[A-B={{30}^{o}}\]                                           ?.(ii) and \[\sec \,(A+C)=2=sec{{60}^{o}}\]                     \[\Rightarrow \]               \[A+C={{60}^{o}}\]                                          ?.(iii) From (i) and (iii), we get                 \[B+C={{30}^{o}}\]                                          ?(iv) From (i) and (iv), we get, \[A={{60}^{o}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[B={{30}^{o}}\]               [using \[A={{60}^{o}}\]in (ii)] and \[C={{0}^{o}}\]        [using \[A={{60}^{o}}\]in (iii)]
