    In a triangle ABC, if\[\angle A=60{}^\circ ,a=5,b=4,\]then c is a\[root{}^\circ \]of the equation

    A)  \[{{c}^{2}}-5c-9=0\]       

    B)  \[{{c}^{2}}-4c-9=0\]

    C)  \[{{c}^{2}}-10c+25=0\]                 

    D)  \[{{c}^{2}}-5c-41=0\]

    E)  \[{{c}^{2}}-4c-41=0\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given, \[\angle A=60{}^\circ ,\text{ }a=5,\text{ }b=4\] \[\therefore \]  \[\cos A=\frac{{{b}^{2}}+{{c}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}}{2bc}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos 60{}^\circ =\frac{1}{2}=\frac{16+{{c}^{2}}-25}{8c}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[4x={{c}^{2}}-9\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{c}^{2}}-4c-9=0\]
