QQuestion

If sin (A + B) = 1 and cos (A − B) = 1, then find the value of cot 2A, where 0° ≤ (A + B) ≤ 90° and A ≥ B

Exam-ready answer 02 Mark

Answer

Given: sin (A + B) = 1

⇒ A + B = 90° —— (i)

Also, cos (A − B) = 1

⇒ A − B = 0°

⇒ A = B.

Now, A + B = 90° and A = B

⇒ 2A = 90°

⇒ A = 45°.

So, cot 2A = cot 90° = 0
