    In a \[\Delta XYZ\], let a, b and c be the lengths of the sides opposite to the angles X, Y and Z, respectively If \[1+\cos 2X-2\cos 2Y=2\sin X\sin Y\], then \[\frac{a}{b}\] is equal to

    A) 1

    B) 2

    C) 3

    D) 4

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We have, \[1+\cos 2X-2\cos 2Y=2\sin X\sin Y\]
    \[\Rightarrow 1+1-2{{\sin }^{2}}X-2\left( 1-2{{\sin }^{2}}y \right)\]\[=2\sin X\sin Y\]\[\Rightarrow 4{{\sin }^{2}}Y-2{{\sin }^{2}}X-2\sin X\sin Y=0\]\[\Rightarrow \,\,4{{b}^{2}}-2{{a}^{2}}-2ab=0\]
    \[\left[ \therefore \frac{a}{\sin X}=\frac{a}{\sin Y}=\frac{a}{\sin Z}=k \right]\]\[\Rightarrow \frac{{{a}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}+\frac{a}{b}-2=0\]\[\Rightarrow {{\left( \frac{a}{b} \right)}^{2}}+\left( \frac{a}{b} \right)-2=0\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\frac{a}{b}=1\]
