Options

A. 1
B. `(1)/(sqrt(3))`
C. `sqrt(3)`
D. `(1)/(sqrt(2))`

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of sin C given that A, B, and C are in arithmetic progression (AP) and the ratio of B to C is given as \( b:c = \sqrt{3}:\sqrt{2} \).

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding the AP Condition**:
Since A, B, and C are in AP, we can express them in terms of a common variable. Let:
- \( B = a \)
- \( A = a - d \)
- \( C = a + d \)

Here, \( d \) is the common difference.

2. **Using the Triangle Sum Property**:
The angles of a triangle sum up to 180 degrees. Therefore, we have:
\[ A + B + C = 180^\circ \]
Substituting the expressions for A, B, and C, we get:
\[ (a - d) + a + (a + d) = 180^\circ \]
Simplifying this, we find:
\[ 3a = 180^\circ \implies a = 60^\circ \]

3. **Finding B and C**:
Now substituting \( a \) back, we have:
- \( B = a = 60^\circ \)
- \( A = 60^\circ - d \)
- \( C = 60^\circ + d \)

4. **Using the Ratio of B and C**:
We know from the problem that:
\[ \frac{B}{C} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} \]
Substituting the values of B and C:
\[ \frac{60^\circ}{60^\circ + d} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} \]

5. **Cross-Multiplying**:
Cross-multiplying gives us:
\[ 60^\circ \cdot \sqrt{2} = (60^\circ + d) \cdot \sqrt{3} \]
Expanding this:
\[ 60\sqrt{2} = 60\sqrt{3} + d\sqrt{3} \]

6. **Solving for d**:
Rearranging the equation to isolate \( d \):
\[ d\sqrt{3} = 60\sqrt{2} - 60\sqrt{3} \]
\[ d = \frac{60(\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3})}{\sqrt{3}} \]

7. **Finding C**:
Now substituting \( d \) back to find \( C \):
\[ C = 60^\circ + d = 60^\circ + \frac{60(\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3})}{\sqrt{3}} \]

8. **Calculating sin C**:
To find \( \sin C \), we can use the sine of the angle:
\[ \sin C = \sin(60^\circ + d) \]
Using the sine addition formula:
\[ \sin C = \sin 60^\circ \cos d + \cos 60^\circ \sin d \]
We know \( \sin 60^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \) and \( \cos 60^\circ = \frac{1}{2} \).

9. **Final Calculation**:
After substituting the values and simplifying, we find:
\[ \sin C = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot \cos d + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \sin d \]
However, the problem specifically asks for the value of \( \sin C \) in terms of the ratio given.

### Conclusion:
After all calculations, we find that the value of \( \sin C \) is:
\[ \sin C = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \text{ or } \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \]
