Q37 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (29 Jan Shift 1) · Mathematics

If α,-π2<α<π2 is the solution of 4cosθ+5sinθ=1, then the value of tanα is

  • A
    10-106
  • B
    10-1012
  • Correct answer
    C
    10-1012
  • D
    10-106

Solution

Given: 4cosθ+5sinθ=1

⇒41-tan2θ21+tan2θ2+52tanθ21+tan2θ2=1

⇒5tan2θ2-10tanθ2-3=0

⇒tanθ2=10±100-45-32×5

⇒tanθ2=10±16010

⇒tanθ2=5±405

It is given that, α∈-π2,π2

⇒α2∈-π4,π4

⇒tanα2∈-1,1

⇒tanα2=5-405

We know that, tanθ=2tanθ21-tan2θ2

⇒tanα=25-4051-5-4052

⇒tanα=25-4052405-85

⇒tanα=5-4040-4

⇒tanα=40-2024

⇒tanα=10-1012

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
