Option 1: 34 cm

Option 2: 24 cm

Option 3: 48 cm

Option 4: 12 cm

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 24 cm


Solution :

As BOC is a right-angled triangle at C,
Applying Pythagoras theorem,
⇒ $(BO)^2 = (CO)^2 + (BC)^2$
⇒ $(20)^2 = (16)^2 + (BC)^2$
⇒ $400 = 256 + BC^2$
⇒ $BC = \sqrt{\text{400 – 256}}$
⇒ $BC = \sqrt{144}$
⇒ $BC = 12$
$\therefore

Question : If $\tan (\alpha+\beta)=\sqrt{3}, \tan (\alpha-\beta)=1$ where $(\alpha+\beta)$ and $(\alpha-\beta)$ are acute angles, then what is $\tan$ $(6 \alpha) ?$

Option 1: $-1$

Option 2: $0$

Option 3: $1$

Option 4: $\sqrt{2}-1$

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $-1$


Solution : Given:
$\tan (\alpha+\beta)=\sqrt{3}=\tan 60^{\circ}$
$\tan (\alpha-\beta)=1=\tan 45^{\circ}$
⇒ $\alpha+\beta=60^{\circ}$
and $\alpha-\beta=45^{\circ}$
⇒ $2\alpha=105^{\circ}$
⇒ $\alpha=\frac{105}{2}^{\circ}$
⇒ $6\alpha=6×\frac{105}{2}^{\circ}=315^{\circ}$
Now, $\tan 6\alpha$
= $\tan 315^{\circ}$
= $\tan (360^{\circ}-45^{\circ})$
= $-\tan45^{\circ}$
= $-1$
Hence, the correct answer is $-1$.
