If (a+2) α+(2 a-1) α=2 a+1 , where 0 α (π)/(2) and a 1 , then α is...

If (a+2)sin⁡α+(2a−1)cos⁡α=2a+1(a+2) \sin \alpha+(2 a-1) \cos \alpha=2 a+1, where 0<α<π20 \lt \alpha \lt \frac{\pi}{2} and a>1a\gt1, then tan⁡α\tan \alpha is equal to -

Options

  1. A34\frac{3}{4}
  2. B43\frac{4}{3}
  3. C2aa2+1\frac{2 \mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{a}^2+1}
  4. D2aa2−1\frac{2 a}{a^2-1}

Correct answer

D. 2aa2−1\frac{2 a}{a^2-1}

Step-by-step solution

(a+2)2tan⁡α21+tan⁡2α2+(2a−1)(1−tan⁡2α2)(1+tan⁡2α2)=2a+1\begin{aligned} & (a+2) \frac{2 \tan \frac{\alpha}{2}}{1+\tan ^2 \frac{\alpha}{2}}+(2 a-1) \frac{\left(1-\tan ^2 \frac{\alpha}{2}\right)}{\left(1+\tan ^2 \frac{\alpha}{2}\right)} \\ & =2 a+1 \end{aligned} Let tan⁡α2=t\tan \frac{\alpha}{2}=\mathrm{t}(a+2)2t+(2a−1)(1−t2)=(2a+1)(1+t2)⇒4a⋅t2−2t(a+2)+2=0⇒t2−t(12+1a)+12a=0⇒(t−12)(t−1a)=0∴tan⁡α2=12 or tan⁡α2=1a\begin{aligned} & (\mathrm{a}+2) 2 \mathrm{t}+(2 \mathrm{a}-1)\left(1-\mathrm{t}^2\right)=(2 \mathrm{a}+1)\left(1+\mathrm{t}^2\right) \\ & \Rightarrow 4 \mathrm{a} \cdot \mathrm{t}^2-2 \mathrm{t}(\mathrm{a}+2)+2=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{t}^2-\mathrm{t}\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}}\right)+\frac{1}{2 \mathrm{a}}=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad\left(\mathrm{t}-\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(\mathrm{t}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}}\right)=0 \\ & \therefore \quad \tan \frac{\alpha}{2}=\frac{1}{2} \quad \text { or } \quad \tan \frac{\alpha}{2}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}} \end{aligned}If $\tan \frac{\alpha}{2}=\frac{1}{2} \quad$ or If $\quad \tan \frac{\alpha}{2}=\frac{1}{a}\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad \tan \alpha=\frac{2 \times \frac{1}{2}}{1-\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{4}{3} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \tan \alpha=\frac{2 \times \frac{1}{a}}{1-\frac{1}{a^2}}=\frac{2 a}{a^2-1} .\end{aligned}$$$
