Question
Assertion : If in a triangle tan A : tan B : tan C = 1 : 2 : 3 then A = 45º
Reason : If p : q : r = 1 : 2 : 3 then p = 1
- If both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
- If both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
- If (A) is true but (R) is false.
- If (A) is false but (R) is true.
The correct answer is: If (A) is true but (R) is false.
The reason R is obviously wrong. To test the assertion , we have
tan A = k, tan B = 2k, tan C = 3k
On putting these in the triangle identity
tan A + tan B + tan C = tan A tan B tan C
We get k + 2k + 3k = k. 2k. 3k
k = 0 and k = –1 are not possible.
(If k = 0 all angles become zero. If k = –1 all angles become obtuse).
Hence the assertion is true.
