Question

If a,b,c are in A.P then c o t A over 2 comma c o t B over 2 a n d space c o t C over 2  are in

  1. A.P
  2. G.P
  3. H.P
  4. A.G.P

hintHint:

As we know that when a, b, c is in AP. Then 2b= a+ c. Also, to find the relation between c o t A over 2 comma c o t B over 2 a n d space c o t C over 2 first we will have to find the value of the three in terms of a, b and c then after looking at the values we can determine the relation.

The correct answer is: A.P


    Given a, b, c is in AP.
    So, b-a=c-b or, 2b=a+ c
    also, a=b-d, c=b +d, d is the common difference
    Now, we know that a+ b+ c=2srightwards double arrows=fraction numerator a plus b plus c over denominator 2 end fractionrightwards double arrow s equals fraction numerator 3 b over denominator 2 end fraction
    Now, cot A over 2 equals square root of fraction numerator s left parenthesis s minus a right parenthesis over denominator left parenthesis s minus b right parenthesis left parenthesis s minus c right parenthesis end fraction end root                            cotB over 2 equals square root of fraction numerator s left parenthesis s minus b right parenthesis over denominator left parenthesis s minus a right parenthesis left parenthesis s minus c right parenthesis end fraction end root                                                 cotC over 2 equals square root of fraction numerator s left parenthesis s minus c right parenthesis over denominator left parenthesis s minus a right parenthesis left parenthesis s minus b right parenthesis end fraction end root
