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

Option 2:

$1:\sqrt{3}$

$\sqrt{3}:\sqrt{2}$

Option 4:

$\sqrt{3}:2$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:

$\sqrt{3}:2$


Solution :
Given: $ABC$ is a right-angled triangle, right-angled at $B$.
$\angle A=60°$ and $AB=20$ cm
So, $\angle C=180°-90°-60°= 30°$
⇒ $\frac{BC}{CA}=\cos C$
⇒ $\frac{BC}{CA}=\cos 30°$
⇒ $\frac{BC}{CA}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
⇒ $BC:CA=\sqrt{3}:2$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt{3}:2$.
