    If tan α = 1/2, tan β = 1/3, then find α+ β.
    Question

    If tan α = 1/2, tan β = 1/3, then find α+ β.

    A.


    B.

    45°

    C.

    90°

    D.

    135°

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    tan α=1/2, tan β=1/3,
    Formula Used:
    tan (α+ β)= ( tan α+ tan β)/(1- tan α.tan β)
    Solution:
    As we know
    tan (α+ β)= ( 1/2+ 1/3)/(1- 1/2.1/3)
    tan (α+ β)= ( (3+2)/6)/( (6-1)/6)
    tan (α+ β)= ( 5/6)/( 5/6)
    tan (α+ β)= 1
    tan (α+ β)= tan45°
    So, α+ β= 45°
