Q66 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2019 (03 May Shift 2) · Mathematics

If in a triangle ABC, a2+2bc-b2+c2=absinC2cosC2, then cot(B+C)=

  • A
    -815
  • B
    14
  • Correct answer
    C
    -158
  • D
    4

Solution

Given, a2+2bc-b2+c2=absinC2cosC2

⇒2bc-b2+c2-a2=absinC2cosC2

⇒2bc-2bccosA=absinC2cosC2

⇒2c1-cosA=asinC2cosC2

⇒4c.sin2A2=asinC2cosC2

⇒4c.s-bs-cbc=as-as-babss-cab

⇒s-bs-css-a=14

⇒tanA2=14

⇒tanA=2tanA21-tan2A2=121-116=815

⇒tanπ-B+C=815

⇒-tanB+C=815

⇒cotB+C=-158

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
