In a \(\triangle A B C\), if \(\frac{\cos A}{a}=\frac{\cos B}{b}=\frac{\cos C}{c}\), then \(\triangle A B C\) is

  1. A right angled
  2. B isosceles right angled
  3. C equilateral
  4. D scalene
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) equilateral

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text { In } \triangle A B C, \frac{\cos A}{a}=\frac{\cos B}{b}=\frac{\cos C}{c}\) By sine rule, \(\begin{array}{lc} \Rightarrow & \frac{\cos A}{k \sin A}=\frac{\cos B}{k \sin B}=\frac{\cos C}{k \sin C} \\ \Rightarrow & \cot A=\cot B=\cot C \\ \Rightarrow & A=B=C \end{array}\)…
