Solution
The correct option is B a right angle triangle sin2A+sin2B+sin2C=2⇒1−cos2A2+1−cos2B2+1−cos2C2=2⇒cos2A+cos2B+cos2C=−1⇒2cos(A+B)cos(A−B)=−2cos2C⇒2cos(π−C)cos(A−B)=−2cos2C[∵A+B+C=π]⇒2cosC[cosC−cos(A−B)]=0[∵cos(π−C)=−cosC]⇒−2cosC[cos(A+B)+cos(A−B)]=0[∵cos(π−(A+B))=−cosC]⇒−4cosAcosBcosC=0⇒cosAcosBcosC=0 Therefore, one of them should be equal to zero. So, exactly one of angle is 90∘
Hence, the triangle is always a right angle triangle.
