Question -

In a ∆ABC, ∠C = 3 ∠B = 2(∠A + ∠B). Find the three angles.



Answer -

Let ∠A = x° and ∠B = y°.
Then ∠C = 3∠B = (3y)°.
Now ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ x + y + 3y = 180°
⇒ x + 4y = 180° …(i)
Also, ∠C = 2(∠A + ∠B)
⇒ 3y – 2(x + y)
⇒ 2x – y = 0° …(ii)
Multiplying (ii) by 4 and adding the result to equation (i), we get:
9x = 180°
⇒ x = 20°
Putting x = 20 in equation (i), we get:
20 + 4y = 180°
⇒ 4y = 160°
⇒  y =  160/40  = 40°
∴ ∠A = 20°, ∠B = 40° and ∠C = 3 x 40° = 120°.
