In a triangle , which of the following are not possible? (Length of side opposite to is .)
Give your answer as the concatenation of the serial numbers of the statements which are not possible. For example, if only statements 2 and 3 are wrong, give your answer as 23.

1 ) tan A + tan B + tan C = 0
We know ,in a traingle A B C ,
t a n A + tan B + tan C = 1 − tan A tan B tan C ⇒ 0 = 1 − tan A tan B tan C ⇒ tan A tan B tan C = 1
.Such triangle is not possible as the angles wont add up to 1 8 0 ∘
2 ) Using Sine Rule ,we can see that the sides will be, a = 2 k , b = 3 k , c = k We can observe that , a + c = 2 k + k = 3 k = b
Such traingle is not possible as voilates the property of any traingle that sum of any two sides of a traingle is greater than the third side, i.e,
a + b > c , a + c > b , b + c > a
3 ) As seen above, ( a + b ) 2 > c 2 . Hence, the equation will hold true for some values of a , b , c .
Divide both sides by 2 , we get, 2 2 ( sin A + cos A ) = 2 3
sin A cos 4 5 ∘ + c o s A sin 4 5 ∘ = 2 3 ⇒ sin ( A + 4 5 ∘ ) = sin ( 6 0 ∘ ) ⇒ A = 1 5 ∘
4 ) cos ( A + B ) = cos A cos B − sin A sin B = 4 3 − 4 3 = 0 ⇒ A + B = 9 0 ∘
cos ( A − B ) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B = 4 3 − + 4 3 = 2 3 ⇒ A − B = 6 0 ∘
A = + 6 0 ∘ , − 6 0 ∘ , B = + 3 0 ∘ , − 3 0 ∘ ⇒ sin A + sin B = − 2 3 + 2 − 1 = − 2 3 + 1 = − 2 2 3 + 1
Hence, 1 , 2 and 4 are wrong,
A N S W E R : 1 ∣ ∣ 2 ∣ ∣ 4 = 1 2 4
