Q60 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (19 Aug Shift 2) · Mathematics

In a triangle ABC, if 3sinA+4cosB=6 and 4sinB+3cosA=1, then sin(A+B) is equal to

  • A
    1
  • Correct answer
    B
    12
  • C
    0
  • D
    cos⁡C

Solution

Given, 3sinA+4cosB=6 and 4sinB+3cosA=1

On squaring and adding both the equations we get,

3sinA+4cosB2+4sinB+3cosA2=62+12

⇒9sin2A+16cos2B+24sinAcosB+16sin2B+9cos2A+24sinBcosA=37

⇒9sin2A+cos2A+16cos2B+sin2B+24sinAcosB+sinBcosA=37

Using sin2A+cos2A=1 and sin(A+B)=sinAcosB+cosAsinB

⇒9+16+24sinA+B=37

⇒24sinA+B=37-25=12

⇒sin(A+B)=12

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