JEE Main 2024 — 6 April, Shift 2 — Question 26

In a triangle ABC,BC=7,AC=8,AB=α∈N\mathrm{ABC}, \mathrm{BC}=7, \mathrm{AC}=8, \mathrm{AB}=\alpha \in \mathrm{N} and cos⁡A=23\cos \mathrm{A}=\frac{2}{3}. If 49cos⁡(3C)+42=mn49 \cos (3 \mathrm{C})+42=\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{n}},

where gcd⁡(m,n)=1\operatorname{gcd}(\mathrm{m}, \mathrm{n})=1, then m+n\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n} is equal to \qquad

Answer: 39

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

cos⁡A=b2+c2−a22bc\cos A=\frac{b^{2}+c^{2}-a^{2}}{2 b c}

23=82+c2−722×8×c\frac{2}{3}=\frac{8^{2}+\mathrm{c}^{2}-7^{2}}{2 \times 8 \times \mathrm{c}} C=9\mathrm{C}=9

cos⁡C=72+82−922×7×8=27\cos \mathrm{C}=\frac{7^{2}+8^{2}-9^{2}}{2 \times 7 \times 8}=\frac{2}{7}

49cos⁡3C+4249 \cos 3 \mathrm{C}+42

49(4cos⁡3C−3cos⁡C)+4249\left(4 \cos ^{3} \mathrm{C}-3 \cos \mathrm{C}\right)+42

49(4(27)3−3(27))+4249\left(4\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)^{3}-3\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)\right)+42

=327=\frac{32}{7}

m+n=32+7=39\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n}=32+7=39
