In a triangle $A B C$,
$\sin A \sin B+\cos A \cos B \sin C=1$
and the length of one of its sides is 1 . Let $s$ be the sum of the other two sides of $A B C$. Then

  • A
    $s$ is always irrational and $s^2$ is always rational
  • B
    $s$ and $s^2$ are always irrational
  • Correct answer
    C
    either $s^2$ is rational or $(s-1)^2$ is rational
  • D
    $s$ is rational

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