MCQ
If $\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{9}\right), x, \tan \left(\frac{7 \pi}{18}\right)$ are in arithmetic progression and $\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{9}\right), y, \tan \left(\frac{5 \pi}{18}\right)$ are also in arithmetic progression, then $|x-2 y|$ is equal to:
  • $0$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $1$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$0$
a
$x=\frac{1}{2}\left(\tan \frac{\pi}{9}+\tan \frac{7 \pi}{18}\right)$

and $2 y=\tan \frac{\pi}{9}+\tan \frac{5 \pi}{18}$

so, $x-2 y=\frac{1}{2}\left(\tan \frac{\pi}{9}+\tan \frac{7 \pi}{18}\right)$

$-\left(\tan \frac{\pi}{9}+\tan \frac{5 \pi}{18}\right)$

$\Rightarrow|x-2 y|=\left|\frac{\cot \frac{\pi}{9}-\tan \frac{\pi}{9}}{2}-\tan \frac{5 \pi}{18}\right|$

$=\left|\cot \frac{2 \pi}{9}-\cot \frac{2 \pi}{9}\right|=0$

$\left(\operatorname{as\,\,\,\,tan} \frac{5 \pi}{18}=\cot \frac{2 \pi}{9} ; \tan \frac{7 \pi}{18}=\cot \frac{\pi}{9}\right)$
