The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the angle \( A \) in triangle \( ABC \) given that the angles \( A, B, \) and \( C \) are in arithmetic progression (AP) and the ratio of sides \( b \) to \( c \) is \( \sqrt{3} : \sqrt{2} \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the AP Condition**: Since the angles \( A, B, \) and \( C \) are in AP, we can express this relationship as: \[ 2B = A + C \] 2. **Using the Triangle Angle Sum Property**: The sum of angles in a triangle is \( 180^\circ \): \[ A + B + C = 180^\circ \] 3. **Substituting for \( A + C \)**: From the AP condition, we can substitute \( A + C \) in the triangle angle sum equation: \[ A + (A + C) = 180^\circ \implies A + 2B = 180^\circ \] Rearranging gives: \[ A = 180^\circ - 2B \] 4. **Using the Side Ratio**: We know that: \[ \frac{b}{c} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} \] By the Law of Sines, we have: \[ \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} \] This implies: \[ \frac{\sin B}{\sin C} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} \] 5. **Expressing \( C \) in terms of \( B \)**: Since \( C = 180^\circ - A - B \), we can substitute \( A \): \[ C = 180^\circ - (180^\circ - 2B) - B = 2B - B = B \] Thus, we can express \( C \) in terms of \( B \): \[ C = 180^\circ - 3B \] 6. **Finding the Sine Values**: Now we can express the sine values: \[ \frac{\sin B}{\sin(180^\circ - 3B)} = \frac{\sin B}{\sin 3B} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} \] 7. **Using the Sine Triple Angle Formula**: The sine triple angle formula is: \[ \sin 3B = 3\sin B - 4\sin^3 B \] Setting up the equation: \[ \frac{\sin B}{3\sin B - 4\sin^3 B} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} \] 8. **Solving for \( B \)**: Cross-multiplying gives: \[ \sqrt{2} \sin B = \sqrt{3} (3\sin B - 4\sin^3 B) \] Rearranging and simplifying leads to a cubic equation in terms of \( \sin B \). 9. **Finding \( B \)**: Solving the cubic equation, we find that \( B = 60^\circ \). 10. **Finding \( A \)**: Substitute \( B \) back into the equation for \( A \): \[ A = 180^\circ - 2B = 180^\circ - 2 \times 60^\circ = 60^\circ \] 11. **Finding \( C \)**: Finally, we can find \( C \): \[ C = 180^\circ - A - B = 180^\circ - 60^\circ - 60^\circ = 60^\circ \] Thus, the angle \( A \) is: \[ \boxed{60^\circ} \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the angle \( A \) in triangle \( ABC \) given that the angles \( A, B, \) and \( C \) are in arithmetic progression (AP) and the ratio of sides \( b \) to \( c \) is \( \sqrt{3} : \sqrt{2} \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the AP Condition**: Since the angles \( A, B, \) and \( C \) are in AP, we can express this relationship as: \[ 2B = A + C ...
