If \(\cos x+\cos y+\cos \alpha=0\) and \(\sin x+\sin y+\sin \alpha=0\), then \(\cot \left(\frac{x+y}{2}\right)\) is equal to

  1. A \(\sin \alpha\)
  2. B \(\cos \alpha\)
  3. C \(\tan \alpha\)
  4. D \(\cot \alpha\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\cot \alpha\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(\cos x+\cos y+\cos \alpha=0\) \[ \begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad \cos x+\cos y=-\cos \alpha \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 2 \cos \left(\frac{x+y}{2}\right) \cos \left(\frac{x-y}{2}\right)=-\cos \alpha \\ & \end{aligned} \] And \(\sin x+\sin y+\sin \alpha=0\)…
