<s>[INST] If in a $\Delta ABC$, $\sqrt 3 \sin C = 2\sec A - \tan A$ and $\angle C = {\lambda ^0}$, find the value of $\lambda$ If in a $\Delta ABC$, $\sqrt 3 \sin C = 2\sec A - \tan A$ and $\angle C = {\lambda ^0}$, find the value of $\lambda$
My approach is as follow
$\sqrt 3 \sin C = 2\sec A - \tan A \Rightarrow \sqrt 3 \sin C = \sec A + \sec A - \tan A$
$\sqrt 3 \sin C = \sec A + \left( {\frac{{{{\sec }^2}A - {{\tan }^2}A}}{{\sec A + \tan A}}} \right) \Rightarrow \sqrt 3 \sin C = \sec A + \left( {\frac{1}{{\sec A + \tan A}}} \right)$
$\sqrt 3 \sin C = \sec A + \left( {\frac{{\cos A}}{{1 + \sin A}}} \right) \Rightarrow \sqrt 3 \sin C = \frac{1}{{\cos A}} + \left( {\frac{{\cos A}}{{1 + \sin A}}} \right) \Rightarrow \sqrt 3 \sin C = \frac{{1 + \sin A + 1 - {{\sin }^2}A}}{{\cos A\left( {1 + \sin A} \right)}}$
$\sqrt 3 \sin C = \frac{{2 + \sin A - {{\sin }^2}A}}{{\cos A\left( {1 + \sin A} \right)}}$
Not able to proceed further
 [/INST] Use Weierstrass substitution
$$\sqrt3\sin C=\dfrac{2(1+t^2)-2t}{1-t^2}$$
$$\iff t^2(2+\sqrt3\sin C)-2t+2-\sqrt3\sin C=0$$
The discriminant $=2^2-4(2^2-3\sin^2C)=-12\cos^2C$ which is $\le0$
But we need $-12\cos^2C\ge0\implies12\cos^2C=0$
