Q25 / 83 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Trigonometric Equations

If tan⁡k+1θ=tan⁡θ, then the set of all the values of θ is 

  • A
    {nπ :n∈I}
  • B
    n π 2  :  n ∈ I
  • Correct answer
    C
    n π k  :  n ∈ I
  • D
    n π 4  :  n ∈ I

Solution

As we know the general solution of the equation

tanx=tanα  is  given  by  x=nπ+α, n∈I

Hence the solution of the equation, tan k + 1 θ = tan θ

is given by k + 1 θ = n π + θ   ⇒   k θ = n π,   n ∈ I

∴     θ ∈ nπk  :  n ∈ I 

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