In a triangle ABC, if a≠b,acosA-bcosBacosB-bcosA+cosC=

  • Correct answer
    A
    0
  • B
    1
  • C
    2
  • D
    -1

Solution

Given,

Triangle ABC,

To find the value of acosA-bcosBacosB-bcosA+cosC

Using the sine rule we get,

=2RsinAcosA-2RsinBcosB2RsinAcosB-2RsinBcosA+cosC

=sin2A-sin2B2sinAcosB-sinBcosA+cosC

=2sinA-BcosA+B2sinA-B+cosC

=cosA+B+cosC

=-cosC+cosC as A+B=π-C 

=0

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