If `(sinx)/(siny)=1/2,(cosx)/(cosy)=3/2` , where `x , y , in (0,pi/2),` then the value of `"tan"(x+y)` is equal to `sqrt(13)` (b) `sqrt(14)` (c) `sqrt(17)` (d) `sqrt(15)`

A

`sqrt(13)`

B

`sqrt(14)`

C

`sqrt(17)`

D

`sqrt(15)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`(sinx)/(siny)=(1)/(2),(cos x)/(cosy)=(3)/(2)`
`rArr (tan x)/(tany)=(1)/(3)`
`rArr tan(x+y)=(tan x+tany)/(1-tan xtany)=(4tan x)/(1-3tan^(2)x)`
Also `siny=2sinx, cos y=(2)/(3)cosx`
or `sin^(2)y+cos^(2)y=4sin^(2)x+(4cos^(2))/(9)=1`
or `36tan^(2)x+4=9sec^(2)x=9(1+tan^(2)x)`
or `27tan^(2)x=5`
or `tan x=(sqrt(5))/(3sqrt(3))`
`rArr tan(x+y)=((4sqrt(5))/(3sqrt(3)))/(1-(15)/(27))=(4sqrt(5)xx27)/(12xx3sqrt(3))=sqrt(15)`
