      If sin(A + B) = √3/2 and cos(A + 2B) = 1/2, where 0°

      A, B < 90°, then find the value of tan(2A).
      A √3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B -√3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      sin(A + B) = √3/2
      Or, sin(A + B) = sin 60°
      Or, A + B = 60° -------- (I)
      cos(A + 2B) = 1/2
      Or, cos(A + 2B) = cos 60°
      Or, A + 2B = 60° -------- (II)
      On solving 2 × equation I – equation II,
      We get, 2A + 2B − A − 2B = 120° − 60°
      Or, A = 60°
      Required value = tan(2A) = tan(120°) = -√3
