    In\[\Delta ABC,\]if a tends to 2 c and b tends to 3 c, then\[cos\text{ }B\]tends to:

    A)  \[-1\]                                   

    B)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{3}\]                  

    D)         \[\frac{2}{3}\]

    E)  1

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\because \]\[\cos B=\frac{{{a}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}}{2ac}\] As\[a\to 2c\]and\[b\to 3c\] \[\therefore \]\[\cos B=\frac{4{{c}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}-9{{c}^{2}}}{4{{c}^{2}}}=-\frac{4}{4}=-1\] When\[a\to 2c\]and\[b\to 3c,\]then\[cos\text{ }B\to -1.\]
