    Question

    If sin (x-y)= 32\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}​ and cos (x+y)=12\frac12​ where x and y are positive acute angles and x ≥ y, then the value of x is:

    A.

    70°

    B.

    60°

    C.

    30°

    D.

    50°

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    sin (x-y)=32\text {sin (x-y)}= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}​​
    cos(x+y)=12\cos (x+y) =\frac 12​​
    Solution:
    We know that:
    sin (x-y)=32\text {sin (x-y)}= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}​ 

    Since, sin60∘ = 32 \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
    x-y= 60°60\degree..............(1)​
    Similarly, we know:

    cos(x+y)=12\cos (x+y) =\frac 12​​

    Since, cos 60∘= 12\frac 12​​
    x+y=60°.......(2)60\degree.......(2)​​
    Add (1) and (2)
    x-y=60°60\degree​​
    x+y=60°60\degree
    Adding these equations
    (x-y)+(x+y)= 60°+60°60\degree +60\degree​​
    2x=120°120\degree
    x=60°60\degree​ ​​
    The value of x = 60°60\degree​​
