The correct Answer is:
To find angle A in triangle ABC where the angles are in arithmetic progression (A.P.) and the ratio of sides b:c is \(\sqrt{3}:\sqrt{2}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Angles**: Let the angles of triangle ABC be: - Angle A = \(A\) - Angle B = \(A + D\) - Angle C = \(A + 2D\) 2. **Sum of Angles in a Triangle**: The sum of the angles in any triangle is \(180^\circ\). Therefore, we can write: \[ A + (A + D) + (A + 2D) = 180^\circ \] Simplifying this, we get: \[ 3A + 3D = 180^\circ \] Dividing the entire equation by 3: \[ A + D = 60^\circ \] 3. **Expressing Angles**: From the equation \(A + D = 60^\circ\), we can express angle B as: \[ B = A + D = 60^\circ \] 4. **Using the Ratio of Sides**: We are given that the ratio of sides \(b:c = \sqrt{3}:\sqrt{2}\). By the Law of Sines, we know: \[ \frac{b}{c} = \frac{\sin B}{\sin C} \] Substituting the known values: \[ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sin(60^\circ)}{\sin C} \] 5. **Calculating \(\sin(60^\circ)\)**: We know that: \[ \sin(60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Therefore, substituting this into the equation gives: \[ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{\sin C} \] 6. **Cross-Multiplying**: Cross-multiplying to solve for \(\sin C\): \[ \sqrt{3} \cdot \sin C = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot \sqrt{2} \] Simplifying this: \[ \sin C = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] 7. **Finding Angle C**: We know that \(\sin C = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\), which corresponds to: \[ C = 45^\circ \] 8. **Finding Angle A**: Now that we have angles B and C, we can find angle A: \[ A = 180^\circ - B - C = 180^\circ - 60^\circ - 45^\circ = 75^\circ \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the measure of angle A is: \[ \boxed{75^\circ} \]
