Q24 / 83 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Trigonometric Equations

If sin⁡x+cos⁡y=13 and cos⁡x+sin⁡y=34, then the value of tan⁡x-y2 is equal to

  • A
    513
  • B
    1213
  • Correct answer
    C
    -513
  • D
    -512

Solution

sin⁡x+sin⁡π2-y=13
⇒2sin⁡π4+x-y2cos⁡x+y2-π4=13
cos⁡x+cos⁡π2-y=34
⇒2cos⁡π4+x-y2cos⁡x+y2-π4=34
On dividing we get,
tan⁡π4+x-y2=49
⇒1+tan⁡x-y21-tan⁡x-y2=49
Using componendo and dividendo, we get
22tan⁡x-y2=13-5⇒tan⁡x-y2=-513

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