Two sides of a triangle are given. If the area of the triangle is maximum, then the angle between the given sides is
  1. $45^{\circ}$
  2. $30^{\circ}$
  3. $60^{\circ}$
  4. $90^{\circ}$

Solution

Let $A B C$ be a triangle and sides $a, b$ and $c$ are $B C, A C$ and $A B$, respectively. Area of $\triangle A B C=\frac{1}{2} a b \sin C$ Now, fixed value of $a$ and $b$ area of triangle is maximum when $\sin C=1$ $ \Rightarrow C=\frac{\pi}{2} \text { or } 90^{\circ} $
