A + B + C = π (cotA+cotB+cotC)÷(cotA×cotB×cotC) = (a) 1 (b) cotAcotBcotC (c) -1 (d) 0 My attempt at solution: Let A = B = C = π÷3 Then, cot(A) + cot(B) + cot(C) = 3 × cot(π÷6) = 3 × (1÷√3) = √3 And, cotA × cotB × cotC = (1÷√3)^(3) =1÷(3√3) Therefore, answer should be 9.

A + B + C = π
 
(cotA+cotB+cotC)÷(cotA×cotB×cotC) =  
 
(a) 1
(b) cotAcotBcotC
(c) -1
(d) 0
 
My attempt at solution:
 
Let A = B = C = π÷3
 
Then,
cot(A) + cot(B) + cot(C) = 3 × cot(π÷6) = 3 × (1÷√3) = √3
 
And,
cotA × cotB × cotC = (1÷√3)^(3) =1÷(3√3)
 
Therefore, answer should be 9.
