Correct answer: A

  1. Use the given angle ranges

Since 0≤α,β≤π40 \le \alpha,\beta \le \dfrac{\pi}{4}0≤α,β≤4π​, we have:

  • 0≤α+β≤π20 \le \alpha+\beta \le \dfrac{\pi}{2}0≤α+β≤2π​
  • −π4≤α−β≤π4-\dfrac{\pi}{4} \le \alpha-\beta \le \dfrac{\pi}{4}−4π​≤α−β≤4π​

So the relevant sine and cosine values will be taken with positive cosine, and for α−β\alpha-\betaα−β the cosine is also positive.


  1. Find sin⁡(α+β)\sin(\alpha+\beta)sin(α+β)

Given

cos⁡(α+β)=45\cos(\alpha+\beta)=\frac45cos(α+β)=54​

and α+β∈[0,π2]\alpha+\beta \in \left[0,\frac\pi2\right]α+β∈[0,2π​], so

sin⁡(α+β)=1−(45)2=1−1625=35.\sin(\alpha+\beta)=\sqrt{1-\left(\frac45\right)^2} =\sqrt{1-\frac{16}{25}} =\frac35.sin(α+β)=1−(54​)2​=1−2516​​=53​.

Thus,

sin⁡(α+β)=35,cos⁡(α+β)=45.\sin(\alpha+\beta)=\frac35, \qquad \cos(\alpha+\beta)=\frac45.sin(α+β)=53​,cos(α+β)=54​.
  1. Find cos⁡(α−β)\cos(\alpha-\beta)cos(α−β)

Given

sin⁡(α−β)=513.\sin(\alpha-\beta)=\frac5{13}.sin(α−β)=135​.

Since α−β∈[−π4,π4]\alpha-\beta \in \left[-\frac\pi4,\frac\pi4\right]α−β∈[−4π​,4π​], we have cos⁡(α−β)>0\cos(\alpha-\beta)>0cos(α−β)>0. Therefore,

cos⁡(α−β)=1−(513)2=1−25169=1213.\cos(\alpha-\beta)=\sqrt{1-\left(\frac5{13}\right)^2} =\sqrt{1-\frac{25}{169}} =\frac{12}{13}.cos(α−β)=1−(135​)2​=1−16925​​=1312​.

So,

sin⁡(α−β)=513,cos⁡(α−β)=1213.\sin(\alpha-\beta)=\frac5{13}, \qquad \cos(\alpha-\beta)=\frac{12}{13}.sin(α−β)=135​,cos(α−β)=1312​.
  1. Express 2α2\alpha2α in terms of these angles

Notice that

2α=(α+β)+(α−β).2\alpha=(\alpha+\beta)+(\alpha-\beta).2α=(α+β)+(α−β).

Hence,

tan⁡2α=tan⁡((α+β)+(α−β)).\tan 2\alpha=\tan\big((\alpha+\beta)+(\alpha-\beta)\big).tan2α=tan((α+β)+(α−β)).

Let

X=α+β,Y=α−β.X=\alpha+\beta, \qquad Y=\alpha-\beta.X=α+β,Y=α−β.

Then

tan⁡2α=tan⁡(X+Y)=tan⁡X+tan⁡Y1−tan⁡Xtan⁡Y.\tan 2\alpha=\tan(X+Y)=\frac{\tan X+\tan Y}{1-\tan X\tan Y}.tan2α=tan(X+Y)=1−tanXtanYtanX+tanY​.

Now,

tan⁡X=sin⁡Xcos⁡X=3/54/5=34,\tan X=\frac{\sin X}{\cos X}=\frac{3/5}{4/5}=\frac34,tanX=cosXsinX​=4/53/5​=43​, tan⁡Y=sin⁡Ycos⁡Y=5/1312/13=512.\tan Y=\frac{\sin Y}{\cos Y}=\frac{5/13}{12/13}=\frac5{12}.tanY=cosYsinY​=12/135/13​=125​.

Therefore,

tan⁡2α=34+5121−34⋅512.\tan 2\alpha=\frac{\frac34+\frac5{12}}{1-\frac34\cdot\frac5{12}}.tan2α=1−43​⋅125​43​+125​​.
  1. Simplify

First, the numerator:

34+512=912+512=1412=76.\frac34+\frac5{12}=\frac9{12}+\frac5{12}=\frac{14}{12}=\frac76.43​+125​=129​+125​=1214​=67​.

Now, the denominator:

1−34⋅512=1−1548=1−516=1116.1-\frac34\cdot\frac5{12}=1-\frac{15}{48}=1-\frac5{16}=\frac{11}{16}.1−43​⋅125​=1−4815​=1−165​=1611​.

Thus,

tan⁡2α=7/611/16=76⋅1611=5633.\tan 2\alpha=\frac{7/6}{11/16}=\frac76\cdot\frac{16}{11}=\frac{56}{33}.tan2α=11/167/6​=67​⋅1116​=3356​.
  1. Match with the options
tan⁡2α=5633\tan 2\alpha=\frac{56}{33}tan2α=3356​

which corresponds to Option A.
