If (cosx)/a=(cos(x+theta))/b=(cos(x+20))...

If `(cosx)/a=(cos(x+theta))/b=(cos(x+20))/c=(cos(x+3theta))/d` then `(a+c)/(b+d)` is equal to `a/d` (b) `c/b` (c) `b/c` (d) `d/a`

A

`(a)/(d)`

B

`(C)/(b)`

C

`(b)/(c)`

D

`(d)/(a)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

For each of the ratios be 1/k.
`(a+c)/(b+d)=(k cos x+k cos(x+2B))/(k cos(x+theta)+k cos(x+3theta))`
`=(2cos(x+theta)cos theta)/(2cos(x+2theta)cos theta)`
`=(cos(x+theta))/(cos(x+2theta))=(b)/(c)`
