B. 3356
C. 3316
D.None
Solution
Hint : To answer the value of tan2α we need to find the value of sin2α and cos2α such that we can find the value of tan2α . To find the value of sin2α and cos2α we need to find the value of sin(α+β) and cos(α−β) . Once we find the value of these values use angle sum formula and find the required answer.
Complete step-by-step answer :
Given
cos(α+β)=54, sin(α−β)=135
Now aplly the formula that the sum of squares of sin and cos is always equal to 1 for the same value of angle.
So we get,
⇒sin(α+β)=1−cos2(α+β)=1−(54)2=53
Similarly,
⇒cos(α−β)=1−sin2(α−β)=1−(135)2=1312
Now applying the formula of sin2α
We get,
⇒sin(2α)=sin(α+β+α−β)=sin(α+β)cos(α−β)+sin(α−β)cos(α+β)
On putting the given value we get,
=53×1312+135×54=6556
Similarly the value of cos2α
We get,
⇒cos(2α)=cos(α+β+α−β)=cos(α+β)cos(α−β)−sin(α−β)sin(α−β)
On putting the given values we get,
=5×134×12−13×55×13=6533
Now applying the formula tan2α in terms of sin and cos we get
tan2α=cos2αsin2α
On putting the above values of sin2α and cos2α
We get,
=6556×3365=3356
Hence the value of tan2α is 3356
So, the correct answer is “Option B”.
Note : In this question students should know the adjustment of angle like cos(2α)=cos(α+β+α−β) otherwise this problem can not be solved easily. Might have to face difficulty as there seems to be no other easy way to solve this.
