a challenge for targetiitians

let a,b,c,d represent coplanar vectors and sin(A)a + 2sin(2B)b + 3sin(3C)c - 4d = 0 then find the least value of sin(A)^2 +sin(2B)^2 + sin(3C)^2 is....

1. 7/8
2. 8/7
3. 1
4. 2/3

well in my first answer i included that ..

but 0 can be the minimum

just take a=b=c=i^ and d=0

they are coplanar .... :)

8/7 is the correct answer..isn't it?

Guys,i help u in this question.myself faculty of maths,bansal classes..firstly by condition of coplanarity u have to get sum of coefficients is equal to zero.so value of sinA+2sin2B+3sin3C=4,after that u can assume two vectors in form of i^+2j^+3k^and sinA i^+sin2B j^+sin3C k^and now apply cauchey swartz inequality in it.u will find result directly..answer is 8/7..thankx.

yaar d is a vector representing a point and using coplanarity theorem

and finally i dint mak the ques ....

FIITJEE guys gav it in one of the AITS last year....

i am talking about this answer

16|d|2/(|a|2+4|b|2+9|c|2)

Rohan Ghosh ·

and further the answer i got is by application of coplanarity and a little bit of cauchy schwarz law ...

hey how come you are getting 4 there!!!!

havent i mantioned d=0!

read post 18 how can 3 0 zeroes be added to giv u a 4

Rohan Ghosh ·

cant sinA sin2B sin3C be all zero???

when d=0 and a,b,c=i^ we get

sinA + 2sin2B + 3sin3C =0

also observe that the quantity given to be found out >=0

here sin2a sin2b sin3c if all zero agrees with the above eqn and also gives the minimum possible value of this =0 ...!!

u guys r not readin the ques properly

ye bhi to dekho ki minimum value nikalni kiski hai ..\

mr . rohan wat u ve found out is the minimum value of sin(A) + 2sin(2B) + 3sin(3C)

thats not mah ques...

Rohan Ghosh ·

Hey deepansh ..

a,b,c =i^ are coplanar!!!!

and further there is no relation between a,b,c, and d!!!
we can indeed have a minimum value

deepanshu001 agarwal ·

no rohan u r not on the ryt track

wat i was able to do was....

Using coplanarity theorem of vectors....

sin(A) + 2sin(2B) + 3sin(3C) = 4

nao wat.....?

yes rohans ryt .....

my ques is complete ,,, this is ol dat is given

COPLANAR IS MEANT TO BE TAKEN CARE OFF!!!!!!!!!

Rohan Ghosh ·

i am not getting it as a value

but as 16|d|2/(|a|2+4|b|2+9|c|2)

and as metal mentioned if there is no restriction choose d=0 min=0

11
Mani Pal Singh ·

MR ROHAN then can u please explain wat r A,B,C???

1
Rohan Ghosh ·

well we require the minimum value ...

metal ·

The question is not clear. Are Sin(A), Sin(B), Sin(C) independent of vectors a,b,c and d?
If that's so, here's my answer:-

Let me choose the vectors such that a+2b+3c-4d=0

Then Sin(A) = Sin(B)= Sin(C)=1, and maximum value=3.

@deepanshu

A,B,C,D r the angles between what???
make the question more clearer
