    The smallest angle of the triangle whose sides are \[6+\sqrt{12},\sqrt{48},\sqrt{24}\]is [EAMCET 1985]

    A) \[\frac{\pi }{3}\]

    B) \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    C) \[\frac{\pi }{6}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let\[A=6+\sqrt{12},b=\sqrt{48},c=\sqrt{24}\]. Clearly, c is the smallest side. Therefore, the smallest angle C is given by \[\cos C=\frac{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}}{2ab}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\Rightarrow C=\frac{\pi }{6}\].
