    If the angles of a triangle are in the ratio\[3:4:5,\]then the ratio of the largest side to the smallest side of the triangle is:

    A)  \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]                                    

    B)  \[\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2\sqrt{2}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2}\]

    D)         \[\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}}\]

    E)  \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let \[A=3\theta ,B=4\theta ,C=5\theta \] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\Rightarrow A+B+C=3\theta +4\theta +5\theta =12\theta ={{180}^{\text{o}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\theta =\frac{180{}^\circ }{12}=\frac{\pi }{12}\] \[\therefore \]  \[A=\frac{3\pi }{12}=\frac{\pi }{4}\]                 \[B=\frac{4\pi }{12}=\frac{\pi }{3}\] and          \[C=\frac{5\pi }{12}\] \[\therefore \] \[a=\sin \frac{\pi }{4}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},b=\sin \frac{\pi }{3}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\] \[c=\sin \left( \frac{\pi }{2}-\frac{\pi }{12} \right)\] \[=\cos \frac{\pi }{12}=\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2\sqrt{2}}\] \[\therefore \]Required ratio\[=\frac{\frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2\sqrt{2}}}{1}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2}\]
