Question : $a, b, c$ are the lengths of three sides of a triangle ABC. If $a, b, c$ are related by the relation $a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}=ab+bc+ca$, then the value of $\sin^{2}A+\sin^{2}B+\sin^{2}C$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{3}{2}$

Option 2: $\frac{3\sqrt3}{2}$

Option 3: $\frac{3}{4}$

Option 4: $\frac{9}{4}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{9}{4}$


Solution : Given
$a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}=ab+bc+ca$
$⇒2a^{2}+2b^{2}+2c^{2}=2ab+2bc+2ca$
$⇒(a^{2}+b^{2}-2ab)+(b^2+c^{2}-2bc)+(a^2+c^2-2ac)=0$
$⇒(a-b)^{2}+(b-c)^{2}+(c-a)^{2}=0$
$⇒a=b=c$
Which means the triangle is equilateral. So, all angles are of 60º each
Therefore, $\sin^{2}A+\sin^{2}B+\sin^{2}C=\sin^{2}60º+\sin^{2}60º+\sin^{2}60º = \frac{3}{4}+ \frac{3}{4}+ \frac{3}{4}= \frac{9}{4}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{9}{4}$.

Question : Find the value of $\tan 3 \theta$, if $\sec 3 \theta=\operatorname{cosec}\left (4 \theta-15°\right)$.

Option 1: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Option 2: $\sqrt3$

Option 3: $–1$

Option 4: $1$

Team Careers360 7th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1$


Solution : Given, $\sec 3 \theta=\operatorname{cosec}\left (4 \theta-15°\right)$
We know $ \operatorname{cosec}\theta = \sec(90°-\theta)$
⇒ $\sec3\theta = \sec (90°-(4\theta - 15°))$
⇒ $3\theta = 90°-4\theta + 15°$
⇒ $7\theta = 105°$
⇒ $\theta = 15°$
$\therefore$ $\tan 3 \theta=\tan (3\times15)=\tan 45° = 1$
Hence, the correct answer
