Number of triangles possible for a given b, c and B(acute angle) under the condition that b < c sin B. Where b, c are the sides and B is the angle opposite to b.
Options:
A .  
0
B .  
1
C .  
2
D .  
3
Answer: Option A : A Let’s construct the lines and angles which constitute the triangle. We can see once c and B are fixed the least value it should have in order to form a triangle is b = c sin B. In fact, you can form 2 triangles if b > c sin B and B is acute.If B is obtuse by default b > c ⇒ b > c sin B. Therefore no triangle is possible when b < c sin B irrespective of B being acute or obtuse. Answer is 0 triangles are possible.
