If $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}$ are the angles of a $\Delta \mathrm{ABC}$, then with usual notations, $\frac{c^{2}-a^{2}+b^{2}}{a^{2}-b^{2}+c^{2}}=$
  1. $\frac{\cos B}{\cos A}$
  2. $\frac{\cot B}{\cot A}$
  3. $\frac{\sin B}{\sin A}$
  4. $\frac{\tan B}{\tan A}$

Solution

$\begin{array}{l} \frac{c^{2}-a^{2}+b^{2}}{a^{2}-b^{2}+c^{2}} \\ =\frac{b^{2}+c^{2}-a^{2}}{a^{2}+c^{2}-b^{2}} \end{array}$ Dividing numerator and denominator by $2 \mathrm{abc}$. $\begin{array}{l} =\frac{\left(\frac{b^{2}+c^{2}-a^{2}}{2 b c}\right) \times \frac{1}{a}}{\left(\frac{a^{2}+c^{2}-b^{2}}{2 a c}\right) \times \frac{1}{b}}=\frac{(\cos A)\left(\frac{1}{a}\right)}{(\cos B) \times \frac{1}{b}} \\ \end{array}$ $=\frac{b}{a} \times \frac{\cos A}{\cos B}=\frac{K \sin B}{K \sin A} \times \frac{\cos A}{\cos B}$ ...(by Sine rule) $=\frac{\tan B}{\tan A}$
