      If sin(A + B) = 1/2 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 1/√3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      sin(A + B) = 1/2
      Or, sin(A + B) = sin 30°
      Or, A + B = 30° -------- (I)
      cos(A + 2B) = 1/√2
      Or, cos(A + 2B) = cos 45°
      Or, A + 2B = 45° -------- (II)
      On solving 2 × equation I – equation II,
      We get, 2A + 2B − A − 2B = 60° − 45°
      Or, A = 15°
      Required value = tan(2A) = tan(30°) = 1/√3
