The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given equation and determine the relationship between \( \tan \alpha \), \( \tan \beta \), and \( \tan \gamma \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Start with the Given Equation:** \[ 2 \sin \alpha \cos \beta \sin \gamma = \sin \beta \sin(\alpha + \gamma) \] 2. **Use the Sine Addition Formula:** Recall that \( \sin(\alpha + \gamma) = \sin \alpha \cos \gamma + \cos \alpha \sin \gamma \). Substitute this into the equation: \[ 2 \sin \alpha \cos \beta \sin \gamma = \sin \beta (\sin \alpha \cos \gamma + \cos \alpha \sin \gamma) \] 3. **Distribute \( \sin \beta \):** \[ 2 \sin \alpha \cos \beta \sin \gamma = \sin \beta \sin \alpha \cos \gamma + \sin \beta \cos \alpha \sin \gamma \] 4. **Rearrange the Equation:** Rearranging gives: \[ 2 \sin \alpha \cos \beta \sin \gamma - \sin \beta \sin \alpha \cos \gamma - \sin \beta \cos \alpha \sin \gamma = 0 \] 5. **Factor Out Common Terms:** Group the terms involving \( \sin \gamma \): \[ \sin \gamma (2 \sin \alpha \cos \beta - \sin \beta \cos \alpha) - \sin \beta \sin \alpha \cos \gamma = 0 \] 6. **Set Each Factor to Zero:** For the equation to hold, either \( \sin \gamma = 0 \) or: \[ 2 \sin \alpha \cos \beta - \sin \beta \cos \alpha = \frac{\sin \beta \sin \alpha \cos \gamma}{\sin \gamma} \] 7. **Divide by \( \sin \alpha \sin \gamma \) (assuming they are non-zero):** \[ \frac{2 \cos \beta}{\sin \gamma} = \frac{\sin \beta \cos \alpha}{\sin \alpha} \] 8. **Express in Terms of Cotangent:** Rearranging gives: \[ 2 \cot \beta = \cot \alpha + \cot \gamma \] 9. **Identify the Relationship:** The equation \( 2 \cot \beta = \cot \alpha + \cot \gamma \) indicates that \( \cot \alpha, \cot \beta, \cot \gamma \) are in Arithmetic Progression (AP). 10. **Conclude the Relationship of Tangents:** If \( \cot \alpha, \cot \beta, \cot \gamma \) are in AP, then \( \tan \alpha, \tan \beta, \tan \gamma \) are in Harmonic Progression (HP). ### Final Answer: Thus, \( \tan \alpha, \tan \beta, \tan \gamma \) are in Harmonic Progression (HP). ---
