A , B and C are in arithmetic progression.
⇒ A + C = 2 B Also, A + B + C = 1 8 0 ° [ Angle sum property of triangle ]
Combining both the equation we get, B = 6 0 °
Let A = 6 0 ° − α . Then C = 6 0 ° + α .
Now, sin A , sin 2 B and sin C are also in arithmetic progression. So,
sin A + sin C = 2 sin 2 B ⇒ 2 sin ( 2 A + C ) cos ( 2 A − C ) = 2 ( 2 3 ) 2 ⇒ sin 6 0 ° cos α = 4 3 ⇒ cos α = 2 3 ⇒ α = 3 0 ° or α = − 3 0 °
So possible sets of A , B , C are ( 3 0 ° , 6 0 ° , 9 0 ° ) and ( 9 0 ° , 6 0 ° , 3 0 ° ) .
Hence ∣ A − B ∣ in both the case is same which is ∣ 3 0 ° − 6 0 ° ∣ = ∣ 9 0 ° − 6 0 ° ∣ = 3 0 °
