Problem

If in a ΔABC\Delta ABC , b=3b = \sqrt{3} , c=1c = 1 and B−C=90∘B - C = 90^\circ , then ∠A\angle A is a. 30∘30^\circ b. 45∘45^\circ c. 75∘75^\circ d. 15∘15^\circ
Intuitive explanation

The key is to use the Law of Sines combined with the angle constraint. Since B−C=90°B - C = 90°, you can express BB in terms of CC, then apply the sine rule to relate the sides bb and cc to their opposite angles. This gives you an equation in CC alone, which you can solve to find the individual angles—and finally AA using A+B+C=180°A + B + C = 180°.
