With usual notations in $\triangle A B C$ if $a^2+b^2-c^2=a b$, then measure of angle $C$ is

With usual notations in $\triangle A B C$ if $a^2+b^2-c^2=a b$, then measure of angle $C$ is
  1. $\frac{\pi}{4}$
  2. $\frac{\pi}{6}$
  3. $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  4. $\frac{\pi}{3}$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & a^2+b^2-c^2=a b \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2 a b}=\frac{1}{2} \\ & \Rightarrow \cos c=\frac{1}{2} \\ & \Rightarrow c=\frac{\pi}{3}\end{aligned}$
