Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(30\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\text { As } \mu=\frac{\sin \left(\frac{D_{\min }+A}{2}\right)}{\sin \left(\frac{A}{2}\right)}\)
\(\sqrt{2}=\frac{\frac{\sin \left(D_{\min }+60\right)}{2}}{\sin \left(\frac{60}{2}\right)}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\sin \left(\frac{D_{\min }+60}{2}\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{D_{\min }+60}{2}=45\)
\(\Rightarrow D_{\min }=30\)
