Options:
  • A $c^{2}-3 c-7=0$
  • B $c^{2}-3 c+7=0$
  • C $c^{2}+3 c-7=0$
  • D $c^{2}+3 c+7=0$

The correct answer is: $c^{2}-3 c-7=0$
$\cos A=\frac{b^{2}+c^{2}-a^{2}}{2 b c}$
$\therefore \cos 60=\frac{1}{2}=\frac{9+c^{2}-16}{2 \times 3 c} \Rightarrow 1=\frac{c^{2}-7}{3 c} \Rightarrow 3 c=c^{2}-7$
$\therefore c^{2}-3 c-7=0$
