Question:

If cos2∝ + cos2ß = 2, then the value of tan5∝ + tan5ß is?

Options:

32

2

16

0

Correct Answer:

0

Explanation:

cos2∝ + cos2ß = 2

⇒ 1 - sin2∝ + 1 - sin2ß = 2

⇒  sin2∝ + sin2ß = 0

⇒ sin2∝ = 0 & sin2ß = 0 ( because two positive terms give sum zero; when both are zero)

⇒ ∝ = ß = 0

⇒ tan∝ = tanß = 0

tan5∝ + tan2ß = 0
