Mark the Correct alternative in the following:

If α and β are acute angles satisfying then tan α =


Given for α < 90° and β < 90° ,


Then tan α is given by


Consider



[using componendo and dividend principle, if ]




[ using cos 2x = 1- 2sin2 x = 2cos2x – 1 ]



[ using cos 2x = cos2 x – sin2 x ]




[ using cos2 x + sin2 x = 1]




tan2 α = 2 tan2 β


applying square root on both sides




Hence the answer is option A.
