Solution

The correct option is A 1
Since a,b,c are in A.P 2b=a+c
We know the half-angle formula
tanA2=(sb)(sc)s(sa), tanC2=(sa)(sb)s(sc)
Now,tanA2tanC2=(sb)(sc)s(sa)(sa)(sb)s(sc)
=(sb)s on simplification
Multiply both sides by 2 we get
=(2s2b)2s
=(a+b+c2b)a+b+c where 2s=a+b+c
=a+cba+b+c
Since a,b,c are in A.P we have a+c=2b
=2bb2b+b=13 on simplification
