    The angles A, B, C of a triangle ABC are in AP and sides b and c are in the ratio\[\sqrt{3}:\sqrt{2},\]then the angle A is:

    A)  \[105{}^\circ \]                

    B)         \[60{}^\circ \]

    C)  \[45{}^\circ \]                  

    D)         \[75{}^\circ \]

    E)  \[90{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\therefore \]Angles A, B, C are in AP \[\therefore \]  \[B=\frac{A+C}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2B=A+C\] \[\therefore \]  \[A+B+C=180{}^\circ \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[3B=180{}^\circ \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[B=60{}^\circ \] Now, \[sin\text{ }B:sin\text{ }C=\sqrt{3}:\sqrt{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sin 60{}^\circ :\sin C=\sqrt{3}:\sqrt{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\times \frac{1}{\sin C}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sin C=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\sin 45{}^\circ \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[C=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\sin 45{}^\circ \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[C=45{}^\circ \] \[\therefore \]  \[\angle A=180{}^\circ -(\angle B+\angle C)\] \[=180{}^\circ -(60{}^\circ +45{}^\circ )\]               \[=75{}^\circ \]
