[Roorkee 1980]

Options:

A) A right angled triangle

B) An isosceles triangle

C) An equilateral triangle

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ S_1=\frac{1}{-2+\sqrt{4-1}}=\frac{1}{-2+\sqrt{3}}=-(\sqrt{3}+2) $

$ S_2=\frac{1}{-2-\sqrt{4-1}}=\frac{1}{-2-\sqrt{3}}=(\sqrt{3}-2) $

and $ S_3=1 $ . $ {\theta _{13}}={{\tan }^{-1}}| \frac{-(\sqrt{3}+2)-1}{1-(\sqrt{3}+2)} |={{\tan }^{-1}}| \frac{-(\sqrt{3}+3)}{-(\sqrt{3}+1)} | $

$ ={{\tan }^{-1}}(\sqrt{3})=60{}^\circ $ . $ {\theta _{23}}={{\tan }^{-1}}| \frac{\sqrt{3}-2-1}{1+\sqrt{3}-2} |={{\tan }^{-1}}| \frac{\sqrt{3}-3}{\sqrt{3}-1} | $

$ ={{\tan }^{-1}}(\sqrt{3})=60{}^\circ $ .
