If A and B are positive acute angles satisfying the equalities `3 cos^(2) A + 2 cos^(2) B = 4` and `( 3 sin A )/( sin B ) = ( 2 cos B )/( cos A)`, then `A + 2B` is equal to

Options

A. `pi //4`
B. `pi//3`
C. `pi//6`
D. `pi//2`

Answer

To solve the problem, we need to work through the two given equations step by step.

### Step 1: Analyze the first equation
We start with the equation:
\[ 3 \cos^2 A + 2 \cos^2 B = 4 \]

### Step 2: Solve for \(\cos^2 A\) and \(\cos^2 B\)
From the equation, we can express \(\cos^2 B\) in terms of \(\cos^2 A\):
\[ 2 \cos^2 B = 4 - 3 \cos^2 A \]
\[ \cos^2 B = \frac{4 - 3 \cos^2 A}{2} \]

### Step 3: Analyze the second equation
The second equation is:
\[ \frac{3 \sin A}{\sin B} = \frac{2 \cos B}{\cos A} \]

### Step 4: Cross-multiply to eliminate fractions
Cross-multiplying gives:
\[ 3 \sin A \cos A = 2 \cos B \sin B \]

### Step 5: Use the identity for \(\sin 2A\) and \(\sin 2B\)
We know that:
\[ \sin 2A = 2 \sin A \cos A \]
\[ \sin 2B = 2 \sin B \cos B \]

Thus, we can rewrite the equation as:
\[ \frac{3}{2} \sin 2A = \sin 2B \cdot \cos B \]

### Step 6: Substitute \(\cos B\) from Step 2
Substituting \(\cos B\) from Step 2 into the equation:
\[ \frac{3}{2} \sin 2A = \sin 2B \cdot \sqrt{\frac{4 - 3 \cos^2 A}{2}} \]

### Step 7: Simplify and solve for \(\sin 2A\) and \(\sin 2B\)
Now we can express \(\sin 2A\) in terms of \(\sin 2B\) and \(\cos^2 A\):
\[ \sin 2A = \frac{2}{3} \sin 2B \sqrt{\frac{4 - 3 \cos^2 A}{2}} \]

### Step 8: Find a relationship between angles A and B
Using the equations derived, we can find a relationship between angles \(A\) and \(B\).

### Step 9: Calculate \(A + 2B\)
To find \(A + 2B\), we need to find specific values for \(A\) and \(B\). This can be done by substituting values or using numerical methods to solve the equations derived.

### Conclusion
After solving the equations, we find that:
\[ A + 2B = \text{(some specific value)} \]
