Question

If sinθ+cosθ=3cos(90θ) then tanθ=?\text{If } \sin \theta + \cos \theta = \sqrt{3} \cos(90 - \theta) \text{ then } \tan \theta = ?​​

A.

21\sqrt{2-1}​​

B.

131\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}-1}​​

C.

121\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}-1}​​

D.

31\sqrt{3}{-1}​​

Correct option is B

Given: 

sinθ+cosθ=3cos(90θ)\sin\theta+\cos\theta = \sqrt3\cos( 90-\theta) 

Solution:

sinθ+cosθ=3cos(90θ)\sin\theta + \cos\theta = \sqrt3\cos(90^\circ - \theta)             (  cos(90θ)=sinθ\cos(90^\circ - \theta) = \sin\theta  )​

sinθ+cosθ=3sinθ\sin\theta + \cos\theta = \sqrt3\sin\theta​​

sinθsinθ+cosθsinθ=3\frac{\sin\theta}{\sin\theta} + \frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta} = \sqrt3   

1+cosθsinθ=31 + \frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta} = \sqrt3 

cosθsinθ=31 \frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta} = \sqrt3-1 

sinθcosθ=131\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} = \frac1{\sqrt3-1} 

tanθ=131\tan\theta = \frac1{\sqrt3-1}  

Option (b)
