If A > 0, B > 0 and A+B=π6A + B = \dfrac{\pi}{6}, then the minimum positive value of (tanA+tanB)\left(tan A + tan B\right) is :

Options

  1. A3−2\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}
  2. B4−234 - 2\sqrt{3}
  3. C23\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}
  4. D2−32 - \sqrt{3}

Correct answer

B. 4−234 - 2\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step solution

tan⁡(A+B)=tanA+tanB1−tanAtanB\tan \left(A + B\right) = \dfrac{tan A + tan B}{1 - tan Atan B}

⇒⇒ 13=y1−tanAtanB\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{y}{1 - tan Atan B} where y=tanA+tanBy = tan A + tan B

⇒⇒ tanA.tanB=1−3ytan A . tan B = 1 - \sqrt{3}y

and, also AM≥GMAM \ge GM

⇒⇒ tanA+tanB2≥tanAtanB\dfrac{tan A + tan B}{2} \ge \sqrt{tan Atan B}

⇒⇒ y≥21−3yy \ge 2\sqrt{1 - \sqrt{3}y}

⇒⇒ y2≥4−43y≥0{y}^{2} \ge 4 - 4\sqrt{3}y \ge 0

⇒⇒ y≤−23−4y \le - 2\sqrt{3} - 4 or y≥−23+4y \ge - 2\sqrt{3} + 4

y≤−23−4y \le - 2\sqrt{3} - 4, is not possible as tanA+tanB>0tan A + tan B > 0

Therefore, y≥−23+4y \ge - 2\sqrt{3} + 4

Hence, minimum positive value is 4−234 - 2\sqrt{3}.
