If the angles \(A, B, C\) of a triangle are in arithmetic progression such that \(\sin(2A + B) = 1/2\) then \(\sin(B + 2C)\) is equal to

Question and options

If the angles A,B,CA, B, C of a triangle are in arithmetic progression such that sin⁡(2A+B)=1/2\sin(2A + B) = 1/2 then sin⁡(B+2C)\sin(B + 2C) is equal to
  1. −12\frac{-1}{2}
  2. 12\frac{1}{2}
  3. −12\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}
  4. 32\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - \(\frac{-1}{2}\)
AP angles: B=60, A+C=120. 2A+B = 180+A-C, so sin(2A+B)=sin(C-A)=1/2. B+2C = 180+C-A, so sin(B+2C) = -sin(C-A) = -1/2.
