MCQ
For $\alpha, \beta \in\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$, let $3 \sin (\alpha+\beta)=2 \sin (\alpha-\beta)$ and a real number $k$ be such that $\tan \alpha=k \tan \beta$. Then the value of $\mathrm{k}$ is equal to :
  • A
     $-\frac{2}{3}$
  • $-5$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • D
    $ 5$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$-5$
b
$3\sin \alpha \cos \beta+3 \sin \beta \cos \alpha$ 
$=2 \sin \alpha \cos \beta-2 \sin \beta \cos \alpha$ 
$5 \sin \beta \cos \alpha=-\sin \alpha \cos \beta$ 
$\tan \beta=-\frac{1}{5} \tan \alpha $
$\tan \alpha=-5 \tan \beta$
Not possible as $\tan \alpha, \tan \beta$ are positive
$\Rightarrow$ Data inconsistent
