MCQ
If $\tan \alpha = \frac{1}{7},\;\tan \beta = \frac{1}{3},$ then $\cos 2\alpha = $
  • A
    $\sin 2\beta $
  • $\sin 4\beta $
  • C
    $\sin 3\beta $
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\sin 4\beta $
b
(b) $\cos 2\alpha = \frac{{1 - {t^2}}}{{1 + {t^2}}} = \frac{{24}}{{25}}$    {Here $t = \tan \alpha $}

$\sin 2\beta = \frac{{2T}}{{1 + {T^2}}} = \frac{3}{5} \Rightarrow \cos 2\beta = \frac{4}{5}$   {$T = \tan \beta $}

$\therefore \,\,\sin 4\beta = 2\sin 2\beta \cos 2\beta $

$= 2.\frac{3}{5}.\frac{4}{5} = \frac{{24}}{{25}} = \cos 2\alpha $.
