JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2024 - 30th January Evening Shift - No. 4)
Explanation
To find the value of $$k$$, the given conditions are:
$$3 \sin (\alpha+\beta)=2 \sin (\alpha-\beta)$$
And $$\tan \alpha = k \tan \beta$$
For the first equation, using the sum and difference formulas for sine, we can rewrite the equation as:
$$3(\sin \alpha \cos \beta + \cos \alpha \sin \beta) = 2(\sin \alpha \cos \beta - \cos \alpha \sin \beta)$$
Simplifying this, we get:
$$3 \sin \alpha \cos \beta + 3 \cos \alpha \sin \beta = 2 \sin \alpha \cos \beta - 2 \cos \alpha \sin \beta$$
Rearranging the terms, we obtain:
$$5 \sin \beta \cos \alpha = - \sin \alpha \cos \beta$$
Dividing both sides by $$\sin \alpha \cos \beta$$, we get:
$$\frac{5 \sin \beta \cos \alpha}{\sin \alpha \cos \beta} = -1$$
Which simplifies to:
$$5 \tan \beta = - \tan \alpha$$
So, taking the reciprocal, we have:
$$\tan \alpha = -5 \tan \beta$$
Therefore, by comparing this equation with the given $$\tan \alpha = k \tan \beta$$, we find that $$k = -5$$.
Thus, the value of $$k$$ is $$-5$$.
