    If in triangle\[ABC,\text{ }cos\text{ }A=cos\text{ }B\text{ }cos\text{ }C,\]then \[cot\text{ }B\text{ }cot\text{ }C\]is equal to:

    A)  2                                            

    B)         3

    C)         4                                            

    D)         5

    E)         \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    Given that \[cosA=cos\text{ }B\text{ }cos\text{ }C\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\cos \{180{}^\circ -(B+C)\}=\cos B\cos C\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[-cos\text{ }B\text{ }cos\text{ }C+sin\text{ }B\text{ }sin\text{ }C=cos\text{ }B\text{ }cos\text{ }C\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{\cos B\cos C}{\sin B\sin C}=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[cot\text{ }B\text{ }cot\text{ }C=\frac{1}{2}\]
