Options:
  • A $\frac{a}{2} \sqrt{\frac{3}{b c}}$
  • B $\frac{a}{3} \sqrt{\frac{2}{b c}}$
  • C $\frac{2 a}{3} \sqrt{\frac{1}{b c}}$
  • D $\frac{a b}{3} \sqrt{\frac{2}{c}}$

The correct answer is: $\frac{a}{3} \sqrt{\frac{2}{b c}}$
Since,
$\sin \frac{A}{2}=\sqrt{\frac{(s-b)(s-c)}{b c}}, s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{a-b+c}{2} \times \frac{a+b-c}{2}}{b c}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{4(c-b)}{2} \times \frac{2(c-b)}{2}}{b c}} \quad[$ as $a=3(c-b)]$
$=(c-b) \sqrt{\frac{2}{b c}} \quad\{\because c>b\}$
$=\frac{a}{3} \sqrt{\frac{2}{b c}}$
Hence, option (b) is correct.
