Question 47

Mathematics Trigonometric Equations Hard

If sin θ = 3 sin (θ + 2α), then the value of tan (θ + α) + 2 tan α is  

(A) 3
(B) 2
(C) -1
(D) 0
✓ Correct Answer: Option D Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

Let \(u = \theta + \alpha\). Then \(\theta = u - \alpha\) and \(\theta + 2\alpha = u + \alpha\).

\(\sin(u - \alpha) = 3\sin(u + \alpha)\)

\(\sin u\cos\alpha - \cos u\sin\alpha = 3\sin u\cos\alpha + 3\cos u\sin\alpha\)

\(-2\sin u\cos\alpha = 4\cos u\sin\alpha \Rightarrow \tan u = -2\tan\alpha\)

So \(\tan(\theta + \alpha) + 2\tan\alpha = 0\).

Answer: (D) 0
