Question

Consider the following statements :

1. In a triangle ABC, if sin A + sin B + sin C = 33/2, then the triangle can be equilateral.

2. In a triangle ABC, if cos A + cos B + cos C = 3/2, then the triangle can be equilateral.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

A.

1 only

B.

2 only

C.

Both 1 and 2

D.

Neither 1 nor 2

Correct option is C

Solution:

Statement 1:

sinA+sinB+sinC=332sinA+sinB+sinC=32+32+32It means{A=B=C=60}\sin A + \sin B + \sin C = \frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{2}\\\sin A + \sin B + \sin C = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\\It\ means \{ A = B = C = 60^\circ \}​​

The triangle can be equilateral.

Statement 2:

cosA+cosB+cosC=32cosA+cosB+cosC=12+12+12\cos A + \cos B + \cos C = \frac{3}{2}\\\cos A + \cos B + \cos C = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}

It means A = B = C = 60∘ ​​

The triangle can be equilateral.

∴ The correct answer is Both 1 and 2.
