Consider the following statements:

I. The triangle is right-angled.

II. One of the sides of the triangle is 3 times the other.

III. The angles A, C and B of the triangle are in AP.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Explanation:

We are given the triangle with angles:

\( \angle B = x = 30^\circ\)

\( \angle A = 3x = 90^\circ \)

\(\angle C = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ \)

Step 1: Check if the sum of the angles is 180°:

\( \angle A + \angle B + \angle C = 90^\circ + 30^\circ + 60^\circ = 180^\circ \)

This confirms that the angles satisfy the angle sum property of a triangle.

Statement I. The triangle is right-angled.

Since\( \angle A = 90^\circ \), the triangle is right-angled.

Statement III: III. The angles A, C and B of the triangle are in AP.

The angles \(30^\circ 60^\circ , \text and 90^\circ \) are in Arithmetic Progression because:

\( 60^\circ - 30^\circ = 30^\circ \quad \text{and} \quad 90^\circ - 60^\circ = 30^\circ \)

This confirms that the angles are in AP.

Statement II is not correct because there is no mention of a side being 3 times the other.

∴ The correct answer is Option (I) and (III) are correct.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.
