Trigonometric Equations Question 217

Question: In $ \Delta ABC $ , if $ \tan \frac{A}{2}\tan \frac{C}{2}=\frac{1}{2}, $ then $ a,b,c $ are in

Options:

A) A. P.

B) G. P.

C) H. P.

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • $ \tan \frac{A}{2}\tan \frac{C}{2}=\frac{1}{2} $
    Þ $ \sqrt{\frac{(s-b)(s-c)}{s(s-a)}\frac{(s-a)(s-b)}{s(s-c)}}=\frac{1}{2} $
    Þ $ \frac{s-b}{s}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow 2s-2b-s=0 $ Þ $ a+c-3b=0 $ .
