Q66 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2022 (18 Jul Shift 1) · Mathematics

In a triangle ABC, if b+c2sin2A2+b-c2cos2A2=K1-cos2A, then K=

  • A
    R2
  • Correct answer
    B
    2R2
  • C
    R
  • D
    2R

Solution

L.H.S.

=b+c2sin2A2+b-c2cos2A2

=b2+c2+2bcsin2A2+b2+c2+2bccos2A2

=b2+c2sin2A2+cos2A2-2bccos2A2-sin2A2

=b2+c2-2bccosA

=a2

∵cosA=b2+c2-a22bc

=4R2sin2A

∵asinA=bsinB=csinC=2R

=2R21-cos2A

So, K=2R2.

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