A and B are two points on one bank of a straight river and C, D are two other points on the other bank of river, if direction from A to B is same as that from C to D and A B=a, C A D= , D A B= , C B A= , then C D is equal to
Options
- Aa ( + + )
- Ba ( + + )
- Ca ( + + )
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
B. a ( + + )
Step-by-step solution
Clearly, C D A= , D C B= , A C B₀= -( + + ) Using since rule in C A B , we get A B ( -( + + )) = C A C A= a ( + + ) Now, using sine rule in C A D , we get C A = C D C D= C A = a ( + + )
