In a triangle ABC with usual notations, if \(3 a=\mathrm{b}+\mathrm{c}\), then \(\cot \frac{B}{2} \cdot \cot \frac{C}{2}=\)

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\cot \frac{B}{2} \cdot \cot \frac{C}{2} = \sqrt{\frac{s(s-b)}{(s-a)(s-c)}} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{s(s-c)}{(s-a)(s-b)}}\) \(= \frac{s}{s-a}\)
