MCQ

If in a triangle $ABC , b =\sqrt{3}, c =1$ and $B-C=90^{\circ}$, then $\angle A$ is

✓
$30^{\circ}$
B
$45^{\circ}$
C
$75^{\circ}$
D
$15^{\circ}$

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

$30^{\circ}$

(A) $\tan \left(\frac{ B - C }{2}\right)=\frac{ b - c }{ b + c } \cot \frac{ A }{2}$
$\Rightarrow \tan \left(\frac{90^{\circ}}{2}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{3}+1} \cot \frac{A}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \tan \left(\frac{ A }{2}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{3}+1}=\frac{3+1-2 \sqrt{3}}{2}=2-\sqrt{3}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{ A }{2}=15^{\circ} \Rightarrow A =30^{\circ}$
