$={a}^{2}\left(\frac{b}{k}-\frac{c}{k}\right)+{b}^{2}\left(\frac{c}{k}-\frac{a}{k}\right)+{c}^{2}\left(\frac{a}{k}-\frac{b}{k}\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\frac{1}{k}\left({a}^{2}b-{a}^{2}c+{b}^{2}c-{b}^{2}a+{c}^{2}a-{c}^{2}b\right)$

This expression cannot be simplified to match with any of the given options.

However, if the quesion is "In any ∆ABC, $\sum _{}^{}{a}^{2}\left({\mathrm{sin}}^{2}B-{\mathrm{sin}}^{2}C\right)=$", then the solution is as follows.

Using sine rule, we have

$\sum _{}^{}{a}^{2}\left({\mathrm{sin}}^{2}B-{\mathrm{sin}}^{2}C\right)$

$={a}^{2}\left(\frac{{b}^{2}}{{k}^{2}}-\frac{{c}^{2}}{{k}^{2}}\right)+{b}^{2}\left(\frac{{c}^{2}}{{k}^{2}}-\frac{{a}^{2}}{{k}^{2}}\right)+{c}^{2}\left(\frac{{a}^{2}}{{k}^{2}}-\frac{{b}^{2}}{{k}^{2}}\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\frac{1}{{k}^{2}}\left({a}^{2}{b}^{2}-{a}^{2}{c}^{2}+{b}^{2}{c}^{2}-{b}^{2}{a}^{2}+{c}^{2}{a}^{2}-{c}^{2}{b}^{2}\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\frac{1}{{k}^{2}}×0\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=0$

In a ∆ABC, if a = 2, $\angle B=60°$ and $\angle C=75°$, then b =

It is given that a = 2, $\angle B=60°$ and $\angle C=75°$.

In ∆ABC,

Using sine rule, we get

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

#### Question 3:

Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:

If the sides of a triangle are in the ratio $1:\sqrt{3}:2$, then the measure of its greatest angle is

(a) $\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{6}$                            (b) $\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{3}$                            (c) $\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}$                            (d) $\frac{2\mathrm{\pi }}{3}$

Let ∆ABC be the given triangle such that its sides are in the ratio $1:\sqrt{3}:2$.

$\therefore a=k,b=\sqrt{3}k,c=2k$

Now, ${a}^{2}+{b}^{2}={k}^{2}+3{k}^{2}=4{k}^{2}={c}^{2}$

So, ∆ABC is a right triangle right angled at C.

$\therefore C=90°$

Using sine rule, we have

Thus, the measure of its greatest angle is $\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}$.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).

#### Question 4:

In any ∆ABC, 2(bc cosA + ca cosB + ab cosC) =

(a) $abc$                            (b) $a+b+c$                           (c) ${a}^{2}+{b}^{2}+{c}^{2}$                           (d) $\frac{1}{{a}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{b}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{c}^{2}}$

Using cosine rule, we have

$2\left(bc\mathrm{cos}A+ca\mathrm{cos}B+ab\mathrm{cos}C\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=2bc\left(\frac{{b}^{2}+{c}^{2}-{a}^{2}}{2bc}\right)+2ca\left(\frac{{c}^{2}+{a}^{2}-{b}^{2}}{2ca}\right)+2ab\left(\frac{{a}^{2}+{b}^{2}-{c}^{2}}{2ab}\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}={b}^{2}+{c}^{2}-{a}^{2}+{c}^{2}+{a}^{2}-{b}^{2}+{a}^{2}+{b}^{2}-{c}^{2}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}={a}^{2}+{b}^{2}+{c}^{2}$

It is given that a = 4, b = 3 and $\angle A=60°$.

Using cosine rule, we have

$\mathrm{cos}A=\frac{{b}^{2}+{c}^{2}-{a}^{2}}{2bc}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\mathrm{cos}60°=\frac{9+{c}^{2}-16}{2×3×c}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\frac{1}{2}=\frac{{c}^{2}-7}{6c}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒{c}^{2}-7=3c\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒{c}^{2}-3c-7=0$

Thus, c is the root of ${c}^{2}-3c-7=0$.

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

#### Question 6:

Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:

In a ∆ABC, if $\left(c+a+b\right)\left(a+b-c\right)=ab$, then the measure of angle C is

Given: $\left(c+a+b\right)\left(a+b-c\right)=ab$

$⇒{\left(a+b\right)}^{2}-{c}^{2}=ab\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒{a}^{2}+{b}^{2}+2ab-{c}^{2}=ab\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒{a}^{2}+{b}^{2}-{c}^{2}=-ab\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\frac{{a}^{2}+{b}^{2}-{c}^{2}}{2ab}=-\frac{1}{2}$

Thus, the measure of angle C is $\frac{2\mathrm{\pi }}{3}$.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).

#### Question 7:

Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:

In any ∆ABC, the value of  $2ac\mathrm{sin}\left(\frac{A-B+C}{2}\right)$ is

(a) ${a}^{2}+{b}^{2}-{c}^{2}$                            (b) ${c}^{2}+{a}^{2}-{b}^{2}$                            (c) ${b}^{2}-{c}^{2}-{a}^{2}$                            (d) ${c}^{2}-{a}^{2}-{b}^{2}$

In ∆ABC,

$\therefore 2ac\mathrm{sin}\left(\frac{A-B+C}{2}\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=2ac\mathrm{sin}\left(\frac{\mathrm{\pi }-2B}{2}\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=2ac\mathrm{sin}\left(\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}-B\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=2ac\mathrm{cos}B$

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

Using cosine rule, we have

$a\left(b\mathrm{cos}C-c\mathrm{cos}B\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=ab\left(\frac{{a}^{2}+{b}^{2}-{c}^{2}}{2ab}\right)-ca\left(\frac{{c}^{2}+{a}^{2}-{b}^{2}}{2ca}\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\frac{{a}^{2}+{b}^{2}-{c}^{2}-{c}^{2}-{a}^{2}+{b}^{2}}{2}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\frac{2{b}^{2}-2{c}^{2}}{2}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}={b}^{2}-{c}^{2}$

Find the area of the triangle ∆ABC in which a = 1, b = 2 and $\angle C=60°$.

In ∆ABC, a = 1, b = 2 and $\angle C=60°$.

∴ Area of the ∆ABC

#### Question 2:

Answer each of the following questions in one word or one sentence or as per exact requirement of the question.

In a ∆ABC, if b = $\sqrt{3}$, c = 1 and $\angle A=30°$, find a.

In ∆ABC, b = $\sqrt{3}$, c = 1 and $\angle A=30°$.

Using cosine formula, we have

$\mathrm{cos}A=\frac{{b}^{2}+{c}^{2}-{a}^{2}}{2bc}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\mathrm{cos}30°=\frac{{\left(\sqrt{3}\right)}^{2}+{\left(1\right)}^{2}-{a}^{2}}{2×\sqrt{3}×1}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{4-{a}^{2}}{2\sqrt{3}}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒3=4-{a}^{2}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒{a}^{2}=4-3=1\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒a=1$

#### Question 3:

Answer each of the following questions in one word or one sentence or as per exact requirement of the question.

In a ∆ABC, if $\mathrm{cos}A=\frac{\mathrm{sin}B}{2\mathrm{sin}C}$, then show that c = a.

Given: $\mathrm{cos}A=\frac{\mathrm{sin}B}{2\mathrm{sin}C}$

$⇒\frac{{b}^{2}+{c}^{2}-{a}^{2}}{2bc}=\frac{b}{2c}$      (Using sine rule and cosine rule)

$⇒{b}^{2}+{c}^{2}-{a}^{2}={b}^{2}$

$⇒{c}^{2}={a}^{2}$

$⇒c=a$

#### Question 4:

Answer each of the following questions in one word or one sentence or as per exact requirement of the question.

In a ∆ABC, if b = 20, c = 21 and $\mathrm{sin}A=\frac{3}{5}$, find a.

In ∆ABC, b = 20, c = 21 and $\mathrm{sin}A=\frac{3}{5}$.

Using cosine rule, we have

$⇒{a}^{2}=841-672=169\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒a=13$

#### Question 5:

Answer each of the following questions in one word or one sentence or as per exact requirement of the question.

In a ∆ABC, if sinA and sinB are the roots of the equation ${c}^{2}{x}^{2}-c\left(a+b\right)x+ab=0$, then find $\angle C$.

It is given that sinA and sinB are the roots of the equation ${c}^{2}{x}^{2}-c\left(a+b\right)x+ab=0$.

$⇒\mathrm{sin}A+\mathrm{sin}B=\frac{\mathrm{sin}A+\mathrm{sin}B}{\mathrm{sin}C}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\mathrm{sin}C=1=\mathrm{sin}90°\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒C=90°$

#### Question 6:

Answer each of the following questions in one word or one sentence or as per exact requirement of the question.

In ∆ABC, if a = 8, b = 10, c = 12 and C = λA, find the value of λ.

Using cosine rule, we have

Now, using sine rule, we have

$\frac{a}{\mathrm{sin}A}=\frac{c}{\mathrm{sin}C}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\frac{8}{\mathrm{sin}A}=\frac{12}{\mathrm{sin}\lambda A}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\mathrm{sin}\lambda A=\frac{3}{2}\mathrm{sin}A\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\mathrm{sin}\lambda A=2×\frac{3}{4}\mathrm{sin}A$

#### Question 7:

Answer each of the following questions in one word or one sentence or as per exact requirement of the question.

If the sides of a triangle are proportional to 2, $\sqrt{6}$ and $\sqrt{3}-1$, find the measure of its greatest angle.

Let ∆ABC be the triangle such that a = 2, b = $\sqrt{6}$ and c = $\sqrt{3}-1$.

Clearly, b > a > c. Then,

$\angle$B is the greatest angle of ∆ABC.                  (Greatest side has greatest angle opposite to it)

Using cosine formula, we have

$\mathrm{cos}B=\frac{{c}^{2}+{a}^{2}-{b}^{2}}{2ca}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\mathrm{cos}B=\frac{{\left(\sqrt{3}-1\right)}^{2}+{2}^{2}-{\left(\sqrt{6}\right)}^{2}}{2×\left(\sqrt{3}-1\right)×2}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\mathrm{cos}B=\frac{3+1-2\sqrt{3}+4-6}{4\left(\sqrt{3}-1\right)}$
$⇒\mathrm{cos}B=\frac{2-2\sqrt{3}}{4\left(\sqrt{3}-1\right)}=\frac{-2\left(\sqrt{3}-1\right)}{4\left(\sqrt{3}-1\right)}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\mathrm{cos}B=-\frac{1}{2}=\mathrm{cos}120°\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒B=120°$

Hence, the measure of its greatest angle is 120º.

#### Question 8:

In ∆ABC,

⇒ ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle.

A = B = C = 60º

#### Question 9:

In any triangle ABC, find the value of $a\mathrm{sin}\left(B-C\right)+b\mathrm{sin}\left(C-A\right)+c\mathrm{sin}\left(A-B\right)$.

Using sine rule, we have

$=k\left[\mathrm{sin}\left(B+C\right)\mathrm{sin}\left(B-C\right)+\mathrm{sin}\left(C+A\right)\mathrm{sin}\left(C-A\right)+\mathrm{sin}\left(A+B\right)\mathrm{sin}\left(A-B\right)\right]\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=k\left({\mathrm{sin}}^{2}B-{\mathrm{sin}}^{2}C+{\mathrm{sin}}^{2}C-{\mathrm{sin}}^{2}A+{\mathrm{sin}}^{2}A-{\mathrm{sin}}^{2}B\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=k×0\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=0$

Hence, the required value is 0.

#### Question 10:

Answer each of the following questions in one word or one sentence or as per exact requirement of the question.

In any ∆ABC, find the value of $\sum _{}^{}a\left(\mathrm{sin}B-\mathrm{sin}C\right)$.

Using sine rule, we have

$\frac{a}{\mathrm{sin}A}=\frac{b}{\mathrm{sin}B}=\frac{c}{\mathrm{sin}C}=k\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒a=k\mathrm{sin}A,b=k\mathrm{sin}B,c=k\mathrm{sin}C$

$\therefore \sum _{}^{}a\left(\mathrm{sin}B-\mathrm{sin}C\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\sum _{}^{}k\mathrm{sin}A\left(\mathrm{sin}B-\mathrm{sin}C\right)$

$=k\sum _{}^{}\mathrm{sin}A\left(\mathrm{sin}B-\mathrm{sin}C\right)$

$=k\left[\mathrm{sin}A\left(\mathrm{sin}B-\mathrm{sin}C\right)+\mathrm{sin}B\left(\mathrm{sin}C-\mathrm{sin}A\right)+\mathrm{sin}C\left(\mathrm{sin}A-\mathrm{sin}B\right)\right]$

$=k\left(\mathrm{sin}A\mathrm{sin}B-\mathrm{sin}A\mathrm{sin}C+\mathrm{sin}B\mathrm{sin}C-\mathrm{sin}B\mathrm{sin}A+\mathrm{sin}C\mathrm{sin}A-\mathrm{sin}C\mathrm{sin}B\right)$

$=k×0=0$
