Question

If tanα = 53\frac{5}{3}​ and tanβ = 4, then α + β is:

A.

135°

B.

145°

C.

125°

D.

160°

Correct option is A

Given:

tanα=53,tanβ=4\tan\alpha = \frac{5}{3}, \quad \tan\beta = 4​​

Formula Used:

tan(α+β)=tanα+tanβ1tanαtanβ\tan(\alpha + \beta) = \frac{\tan\alpha + \tan\beta}{1 - \tan\alpha \cdot \tan\beta}​​

Solution:
tan(α+β)=53+41(534)=5+1231203=173173=1\tan(\alpha + \beta) = \frac{\frac{5}{3} + 4}{1 - \left(\frac{5}{3} \cdot 4\right)} = \frac{\frac{5 + 12}{3}}{1 - \frac{20}{3}} = \frac{\frac{17}{3}}{\frac{-17}{3}} = -1​​

So,

tan(α+β)=1=tan135\tan(\alpha + \beta) = -1 =\tan 135^\circ

α+β=135\alpha + \beta = 135^\circ
