Q34 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (10 Jan Shift 2) · Mathematics

With the usual notation in ∆ABC, if ∠A+∠B=120°, a=3+1 units and b=3-1 units, then the ratio ∠A:∠B is

  • Correct answer
    A
    7:1
  • B
    9:7
  • C
    3:1
  • D
    5:3

Solution

Let angle B is x.

Using sine rule, we get

3+1sin120°-x=3-1sinx.

⇒3+13-1=sin120°-xsinx

⇒3+13-1=sin120°cosx-cos120°sinxsinx

⇒3+13-1=sin120°cotx-cos120°

Figure

⇒3+13-1-12=32cotx

⇒3+232=32cotx

⇒cotx=3+2

⇒tanx=2-3

⇒x=∠B=15°

⇒120-x=∠A=105°

⇒∠A:∠B=7:1

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