Question:

If sin(A + B)=\(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{2}\) and tan(A - B) =\(\frac{1}{\sqrt {3}}\)

find the value of (3A + 5B).

Options:

120°

135°

210°

270°

Correct Answer:

210°

Explanation:

A + B=\(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{2}\) = 60°  ...(i)

A - B =\(\frac{1}{\sqrt {3}}\) = 30°  ...(ii)

Adding eq. (i) and (ii)

2A = 90°

A = 45°

B = 15°

Now, (3A + 5B) = 3×45 + 5×15

= 135+75

= 210°
