If cos A+cos B+2cos C=2 in triangle ABC, which progression do the side lengths form?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

cos A+cos B=2(1-cos C)=4 . By cos A+cos B=2sin(C/2)cos((A-B)/2), cancel 2sin(C/2)>0 to obtain cos((A-B)/2)=2sin(C/2). Multiply by 2cos(C/2): sin A+sin B=2sin C. The sine rule gives a+b=2c, so a,c,b are in A.P.
