  2. B112\dfrac{1}{12}
  3. C1212
  4. D43\dfrac{4}{3}

Correct answer

A. 34\dfrac{3}{4}

Step-by-step solution

Given sin⁡(x+y)=2sin⁡(x−y)\sin(x+y) = 2\sin(x-y)

⇒sin⁡(x+y)sin⁡(x−y)=21\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sin(x+y)}{\sin(x-y)} = \dfrac{2}{1}

Applying componendo and dividendo:

sin⁡(x+y)+sin⁡(x−y)sin⁡(x+y)−sin⁡(x−y)=2+12−1\dfrac{\sin(x+y)+\sin(x-y)}{\sin(x+y)-\sin(x-y)} = \dfrac{2+1}{2-1}

⇒2sin⁡xcos⁡y2cos⁡xsin⁡y=3\Rightarrow \dfrac{2\sin x \cos y}{2\cos x \sin y} = 3

⇒tan⁡xtan⁡y=3…(1)\Rightarrow \dfrac{\tan x}{\tan y} = 3 \dots (1)

Also given 5cos⁡(x+y)=3cos⁡(x−y)5\cos(x+y) = 3\cos(x-y)

⇒cos⁡(x+y)cos⁡(x−y)=35\Rightarrow \dfrac{\cos(x+y)}{\cos(x-y)} = \dfrac{3}{5}

Applying componendo and dividendo:

cos⁡(x+y)+cos⁡(x−y)cos⁡(x+y)−cos⁡(x−y)=3+53−5\dfrac{\cos(x+y)+\cos(x-y)}{\cos(x+y)-\cos(x-y)} = \dfrac{3+5}{3-5}

⇒2cos⁡xcos⁡y−2sin⁡xsin⁡y=8−2\Rightarrow \dfrac{2\cos x \cos y}{-2\sin x \sin y} = \dfrac{8}{-2}

⇒−cot⁡xcot⁡y=−4\Rightarrow -\cot x \cot y = -4

⇒tan⁡xtan⁡y=14…(2)\Rightarrow \tan x \tan y = \dfrac{1}{4} \dots (2)

Multiplying equations (1) and (2):

\left(\dfrac{\tan x}{\tan y}\right) (\tan x \tan y) = 3 \times \dfrac{1}{4}<br><br><br><br>\Rightarrow \tan^2 x = \dfrac{3}{4}<br><br>Answer:<br><br>Answer:\dfrac{3}{4}
