Let ABCABC be an acute-angled triangle and let DD be the mid-point of BCBC. If AB=ADAB = AD, then tanBtanC\dfrac{tanB}{tanC}& equalLet ABC be an acute-angled triangle and let D be the mid-point of BC . If AB = AD , then (tanB)/(tanC) & equal

Options

  1. A2\sqrt{2}
  2. B3\sqrt{3}
  3. C22
  4. D33

Correct answer

D. 33
