MCQ
$\cos A + \cos (240^\circ + A) + \cos (240^\circ - A) = $
  • A
    $\cos A$
  • $0$
  • C
    $\sqrt 3 \sin A$
  • D
    $\sqrt 3 \cos A$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$0$
b
(b) $\cos A + \cos \,({240^o} + A) + \cos \,({240^o} - A)$

$ = \cos A + 2\cos {240^o}\cos A$

$ = \cos A\{ 1 + 2\cos ({180^o} + {60^o})\} $

$= \cos A\,\left\{ {1 + 2\,\left( { - \frac{1}{2}} \right)} \right\}$

$ = 0$.
