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

  1. If both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  2. If both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  3. If (A) is true but (R) is false.
  4. 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).
