    If \[4\,\sin \,A=4\,\sin B=3\,\sin \,C\] in a triangle ABC, then \[\cos \,\,C\] is equal to

    A)  \[1/3\]           

    B)  \[1/9\]

    C)  \[1/27\]          

    D)  \[~1/18\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given,   \[4\,\,\sin \,A=4\,\sin B=3\,\sin C\] or \[\frac{\sin A}{1/4}=\frac{\sin B}{1/4}=\frac{\sin C}{1/3}\] or \[\frac{\sin A}{3}=\frac{\sin B}{3}=\frac{\sin C}{4}\] Here, \[a=3k,b=3k\] and \[c=4k\] \[\therefore \] \[\cos \,C=\frac{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}}{2ab}\] \[=\frac{9{{k}^{2}}+9{{k}^{2}}-16{{k}^{2}}}{2\times 3k\times 3k}=\frac{1}{9}\]
