$A$ tower $AB$ leans towards west making an angle $\alpha$ with the vertical. The angular elevation of $B$,the top most point of the tower,is $\beta$ as observed from a point $C$ due east of $A$ at a distance $d$ from $A$. If the angular elevation of $B$ from a point $D$ due east of $C$ at a distance $2d$ from $C$ is $\gamma$,then $2\tan \alpha$ can be given as

The angle bisectors $BD$ and $CE$ of a $\triangle ABC$ are divided by the incentre $I$ in the ratios $3:2$ and $2:1$ respectively. Then,the ratio in which $I$ divides the angle bisector through $A$ is

Match the items of List-$I$ with those of List-$II$ (Here $\Delta$ denotes the area of $\triangle ABC$.)
List-$I$List-$II$
$(A)$ $\sum \cot A$$(i)$ $\frac{(a+b+c)^2}{4\Delta}$
$(B)$ $\sum \cot \frac{A}{2}$$(ii)$ $\frac{a^2+b^2+c^2}{4\Delta}$
$(C)$ If $\tan A : \tan B : \tan C = 1 : 2 : 3$,then $\sin A : \sin B : \sin C =$$(iii)$ $8 : 6 : 5$
$(D)$ If $\cot \frac{A}{2} : \cot \frac{B}{2} : \cot \frac{C}{2} = 3 : 7 : 9$,then $a : b : c =$$(iv)$ $12 : 5 : 13$
$(v)$ $\sqrt{5} : 2\sqrt{2} : 3$
$(vi)$ $4\Delta$

Then the correct match is
