    In a \[\Delta ABC,2{{a}^{2}}+4{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}=4ab+2ac,\]then \[\cos \,B\]is equal to

    A)  0                            

    B)         \[\frac{1}{8}\]                  

    C)  \[\frac{3}{8}\]                  

    D)         \[\frac{7}{8}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[2{{a}^{2}}+4{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}=4ab+2ac\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{a}^{2}}+{{(2b)}^{2}}-4ab+{{a}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}-2ac=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{(a-2b)}^{2}}+{{(a-c)}^{2}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[a=2b=c\] \[\cos B=\frac{{{a}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}}{2ac}\] \[=\frac{{{c}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}-{{\left( \frac{c}{2} \right)}^{2}}}{2\times c\times c}=\frac{2{{c}^{2}}-\frac{{{c}^{2}}}{4}}{2{{c}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos B=\frac{7}{8}\]
