Question : If $\tan(A+B)=\sqrt{3}$, and $\tan(A-B)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$, $\angle A+\angle B<90°$; $A\geq B$ then $\angle A$ is:
Option 1: 90°
Option 2: 30°
Option 3: 45°
Option 4: 60°
Correct Answer: 45°
Solution : Given: $\tan(A+B)=\sqrt{3}$ ⇒ $A+B=60°$ ------(1) $\tan(A-B)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ ⇒ $A-B=30°$ ------(2) Adding equations (1) and (2), we have, $2A=90°$ $\therefore A=45°$ Hence, the correct answer is 45°.
