The acute angle of a rhombus whose side is a mean proportion al between its diagonals is

a
15°
b
20°
c
30°
d
80°

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Let the length of the diagonals of the rhombus be a and b and x be its side then     xa=bx⇒x2=ab Now cos⁡θ=x2+x2−a22x⋅x=2ab−a22ab=1−a2b Similarly cos⁡180∘−θ=1−b2a⇒a2b=1−cos⁡θ,b2a=1+cos⁡θ⇒1−cos2⁡θ=14⇒sin⁡θ=12⇒θ=30∘
