Correct answer: A, B
- Use the cosine rule for Option A
In triangle , So, Now compare with Thus, \cos P-\left(1-\frac{p^2}{2qr}\right)=\frac{q^2+r^2-p^2-(2qr-p^2)}{2qr}=rac{(q-r)^2}{2qr}\ge 0. Hence, So A is true.
- Check Option B
We use cosine rule:
We need to test:
Substitute the cosine-rule expressions. Let After simplifying algebraically, this becomes A cleaner simplification is obtained by multiplying throughout by :
On simplification, this reduces to Since in a triangle, and all sides are positive, the second factor is also positive. Therefore Hence the required inequality holds: So B is true.
- Check Option C
The option states This is not even a meaningful standard triangle expression because is a side length, while and are angles. The term is dimensionally inconsistent in the usual triangle notation, where denotes a side, not an angle.
So as written, C is false / invalid.
- Check Option D
Given and , we test whether
Take a counterexample: let This is a valid triangle and indeed , .
Now, while So is false.
Also, while Thus is also false.
Hence D is false.
- Final conclusion
The true statements are:
This matches the stored correct answer.
