If 7 and 8 are the lengths of two sides of a triangle and ' a ' is the length of its smallest side. The angles of the triangle are in AP and ' a ' has two values a₁ and a₂ satisfying this condition. If a₁ a₂ then 2 a₁+3 a₂=
Options
- A15
- B21
- C24
- D28
Correct answer
B. 21
Step-by-step solution
Let angles be A, 180^ -3 A, 2 A Then 2 (180^ -3 A )=A+2 A A=40 Angles are 40^ , 60^ , 80^ Now, b^2=c^2+a^2-2 a c 60^ 49=64+a^2-8 a aligned & a^2-8 a+15=0 a=3,5 & a₁=3, a₂=5 2 a₁+3 a₂=21 aligned
