In \(\triangle \mathrm{ABC}\), if the sides \(a, b, c\) are in geometric progression and the largest angle exceeds the smallest angle by \(60^{\circ}\), then \(\cos B\) is equal to

  1. A \(\frac{\sqrt{13}+1}{4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1-\sqrt{13}}{4}\)
  3. C \(1\)
  4. D \(\frac{\sqrt{13}-1}{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\sqrt{13}-1}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In \(\triangle \mathrm{ABC}\), sides \(a, b\) and \(c\) are in GP. \(\therefore \quad b^2=a c \quad \ldots .(\mathrm{i})\) Given, largest angle exceeds the smallest angle by \(60^{\circ}\).…
