Question

In a triangle PQR ∠R =, if tan and tan are the roots of the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0(a ≠ 0), then

Options

A.a + b = c
B.a + b = c
C.a + c = b
D.b = c

Solution

It is given that tan (P / 2) and tan (Q / 2) are the roots of the quadratic equation
      ax2 + bx + c = 0 and ∠R = π / 2
∴     tan (P / 2) + tan (Q / 2) = - b / a
and   tan (P / 2) tan (Q / 2) = c / a
Since,       P + Q + R = 180o
⇒     P + Q = 90o
⇒     = 45o
⇒     tan = tan 45o
⇒    
⇒     = 1
⇒     = 1 ⇒ = 1
⇒     - b = a - c
⇒     a + b = c
