Correct answer: C

  1. Start with the given equation

3sin⁡(α+β)=2sin⁡(α−β)3\sin(\alpha+\beta)=2\sin(\alpha-\beta)3sin(α+β)=2sin(α−β)

Using angle-sum and angle-difference identities,

sin⁡(α+β)=sin⁡αcos⁡β+cos⁡αsin⁡β\sin(\alpha+\beta)=\sin\alpha\cos\beta+\cos\alpha\sin\betasin(α+β)=sinαcosβ+cosαsinβ sin⁡(α−β)=sin⁡αcos⁡β−cos⁡αsin⁡β\sin(\alpha-\beta)=\sin\alpha\cos\beta-\cos\alpha\sin\betasin(α−β)=sinαcosβ−cosαsinβ

So,

3(sin⁡αcos⁡β+cos⁡αsin⁡β)=2(sin⁡αcos⁡β−cos⁡αsin⁡β)3(\sin\alpha\cos\beta+\cos\alpha\sin\beta)=2(\sin\alpha\cos\beta-\cos\alpha\sin\beta)3(sinαcosβ+cosαsinβ)=2(sinαcosβ−cosαsinβ)

  1. Expand and collect like terms

3sin⁡αcos⁡β+3cos⁡αsin⁡β=2sin⁡αcos⁡β−2cos⁡αsin⁡β3\sin\alpha\cos\beta+3\cos\alpha\sin\beta=2\sin\alpha\cos\beta-2\cos\alpha\sin\beta3sinαcosβ+3cosαsinβ=2sinαcosβ−2cosαsinβ

Bring all terms to one side:

sin⁡αcos⁡β+5cos⁡αsin⁡β=0\sin\alpha\cos\beta+5\cos\alpha\sin\beta=0sinαcosβ+5cosαsinβ=0

Thus,

sin⁡αcos⁡β=−5cos⁡αsin⁡β\sin\alpha\cos\beta=-5\cos\alpha\sin\betasinαcosβ=−5cosαsinβ

  1. Divide by cos⁡αcos⁡β\cos\alpha\cos\betacosαcosβ

Since α,β∈(0,π/2)\alpha,\beta\in(0,\pi/2)α,β∈(0,π/2), we have cos⁡α>0\cos\alpha>0cosα>0 and cos⁡β>0\cos\beta>0cosβ>0, so division is valid:

sin⁡αcos⁡α=−5sin⁡βcos⁡β\frac{\sin\alpha}{\cos\alpha}=-5\frac{\sin\beta}{\cos\beta}cosαsinα​=−5cosβsinβ​

Hence,

tan⁡α=−5tan⁡β\tan\alpha=-5\tan\betatanα=−5tanβ

  1. Compare with the given form

We are told

tan⁡α=ktan⁡β\tan\alpha=k\tan\betatanα=ktanβ

Therefore,

k=−5k=-5k=−5

  1. Check the options

The correct option is:

−5\boxed{-5}−5​

So option C is correct.
