    If in any \[\Delta ABC\], \[\cot \frac{A}{2},\cot \frac{B}{2},\cos \frac{C}{2}\]are in A. P. then [MP PET 2003]

    A) \[\cot \frac{A}{2}\cot \frac{B}{2}=4\]

    B) \[\cot \frac{A}{2}\cot \frac{C}{2}=3\]

    C) \[\cot \frac{B}{2}\cot \frac{C}{2}=1\]

    D) \[\cot \frac{B}{2}\tan \frac{C}{2}=0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Trick: Take \[A=B=C={{60}^{o}},\] then \[\cot \frac{A}{2},\,\cot \frac{B}{2}\] and \[\cot \frac{C}{2}\] are in A.P. with common difference zero. Now option (b) satisfies.
