Solution
The correct option is C 1 bc=cosβ+isinβcosγ+isinγ×cosγ−isinγcosγ−isinγ ⇒bc=cos(β−γ)+isin(β−γ) ......(i) Similarly, ca=cos(γ−β)+sin(α−β) ......(ii) and ab=cos(α−β)+isin(γ−β) .....(iii) from (i) + (ii) + (iii) cos(β−γ)cos(γ−α)+cos(α−β)+i[sin(β−γ)+som(γ−α)+sin(α−β)]=1 Equating real and imaginary parts, cos(β−γ)+cos(γ−α)+cos(α−β)=1
