    Which of the following is true in a triangle ABC [IIT Screening 2005]

    A) \[(b+c)\sin \frac{B-C}{2}=2a\cos \frac{A}{2}\]

    B)  \[(b+c)\cos \frac{A}{2}=2a\sin \frac{B-C}{2}\]

    C) \[(b-c)\cos \frac{A}{2}=a\sin \frac{B-C}{2}\]

    D) \[(b-c)\sin \frac{B-C}{2}=2a\cos \frac{A}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[\frac{b-c}{a}=\frac{\sin B-\sin C}{\sin A}=\frac{2\sin \frac{B-C}{2}\cos \frac{B+C}{2}}{2\sin \frac{A}{2}\cos \frac{A}{2}}=\frac{\sin \frac{B-C}{2}}{\cos \frac{A}{2}}\] Þ \[(b-c)\cos \frac{A}{2}=a\sin \frac{B-C}{2}\].
