775 + ab + (31a + 25b ) cos q = 0, then the value of cosec 2 q is \ (a + b - ab + 2) 4 = 400

Multiplying we get
[(a + 25 cos q) (b + 31 cos q) ]2 = [1 - (25 sin q) 2 ] must be
[1 - (31 sin q) 2 ] Sol. (28) sin A and cos A are the roots of the equation

(ii) k > 0, three graphs of the cubic equation (ii) are (C) Clearly, there will never exists three or more than
possible. In fig. (i), two such triangle are possible. The three non-similar isosceles triangle for any value
condition is f (k /3) < 0. of k.
