Given $\frac{b+c}{11} = \frac{c+a}{12}= \frac{a+b}{13} $ for a $ \Delta ABC$ with
usual notation. If $ \frac{\cos A}{\alpha} = \frac{\cos B}{\beta} = \frac{\cos C}{\gamma} $ , then the ordered triad $( \alpha, \beta, \gamma)$ has a value :
- (3, 4, 5)
- (19, 7, 25)
- (7, 19, 25)
- (5, 12, 13)
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
$\Rightarrow \; a = 7 \lambda , b = 6 \lambda , c = 5\lambda$
(using cosine formula)
$\cos A =\frac{1}{5} , \cos B = \frac{19}{35} , \cos C = \frac{5}{7} $
$\alpha: \beta:\gamma \Rightarrow 7 : 19 : 25 $

Trigonometric Identities
Various trigonometric identities are as follows:
Even and Odd Functions
Cosecant and Secant are even functions, all the others are odd.
- sin (-A) = – sinA,
- cos (-A) = cos A,
- cosec (-A) = -cosec A,
- cot (-A) = -cot A,
- tan (-A) = – tan A,
- sec (-A) = sec A.

Sum and Difference Identities
- T-Ratios of (x + y)
sin (x+y) = sinx.cosy + cosx.sin y
cos (x+y) = cosx.cosy – sinx.siny - T-Ratios of (x – y)

- 2sinx cosy = sin(x+y) + sin(x–y)
- 2cosx siny = sin(x+y) – sin(x–y)
