Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(a, b, c\) are the sides of the \(\triangle A B C\) and \(s\) is the semi-perimeter \[ s=\frac{a+b+c}{2} \] Put the value of Eq. (i), we get \[ s=\frac{a+3 a}{2}=\frac{4 a}{2}=2 a \] Now, \(\cot \frac{B}{2} \cot \frac{C}{2}\)…
