The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step-by-step, we will use the information given in the question along with some trigonometric identities and properties of triangles. ### Step 1: Understanding the Given Information We are given that in triangle ABC, the sides \( a, b, c \) are in Arithmetic Progression (A.P.). This means: \[ 2b = a + c \] ### Step 2: Using the Sine Rule According to the sine rule in a triangle: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} = 2R \] where \( R \) is the circumradius of the triangle. We can express the sides in terms of the angles: \[ a = 2R \sin A, \quad b = 2R \sin B, \quad c = 2R \sin C \] ### Step 3: Substitute the Values of a, b, and c Using the relationship \( 2b = a + c \): \[ 2(2R \sin B) = 2R \sin A + 2R \sin C \] Dividing by \( 2R \) (assuming \( R \neq 0 \)): \[ 2 \sin B = \sin A + \sin C \] ### Step 4: Analyzing the Given Equation The equation given in the problem is: \[ \frac{b}{c} \sin 2C + \frac{c}{b} \sin 2B + \frac{b}{a} \sin 2A + \frac{a}{b} \sin 2B = 2 \] Substituting \( a, b, c \) in terms of \( R \) and the sines of the angles: \[ \frac{2R \sin B}{2R \sin C} \sin 2C + \frac{2R \sin C}{2R \sin B} \sin 2B + \frac{2R \sin B}{2R \sin A} \sin 2A + \frac{2R \sin A}{2R \sin B} \sin 2B = 2 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{\sin B}{\sin C} \sin 2C + \frac{\sin C}{\sin B} \sin 2B + \frac{\sin B}{\sin A} \sin 2A + \frac{\sin A}{\sin B} \sin 2B = 2 \] ### Step 5: Simplifying the Equation We can rewrite the equation: \[ \sin B \sin 2C + \sin C \sin 2B + \sin B \sin 2A + \sin A \sin 2B = 2 \sin A \sin B \sin C \] Factoring out common terms and using the identity \( \sin 2x = 2 \sin x \cos x \): \[ \sin B \cdot 2 \sin C \cos C + \sin C \cdot 2 \sin B \cos B + \sin B \cdot 2 \sin A \cos A + \sin A \cdot 2 \sin B \cos B = 2 \] ### Step 6: Using the Sine Addition Formula The terms can be rearranged and simplified using the sine addition formulas: \[ \sin B \cos C + \sin C \cos B = \sin(B + C) \] And similar for other terms. ### Step 7: Finalizing the Equation After simplification, we find: \[ \sin B + \sin C = 1 \] Using the earlier result \( 2 \sin B = \sin A + \sin C \), we can substitute to find: \[ 2 \sin B = 1 \implies \sin B = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the value of \( \sin B \) is: \[ \boxed{\frac{1}{2}} \]

To solve the problem step-by-step, we will use the information given in the question along with some trigonometric identities and properties of triangles. ### Step 1: Understanding the Given Information We are given that in triangle ABC, the sides \( a, b, c \) are in Arithmetic Progression (A.P.).
