    If \[\tan \,n\theta =\tan m\theta \], then the different values of will be in [Karnataka CET 1998]

    A) A.P.

    B) G.P.

    C) H.P.

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We have \[\tan n\theta =\tan m\theta \]\[\Rightarrow \]\[n\theta =N\pi +(m\theta )\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\theta =\frac{N\pi }{n-m}\], putting  \[N=1,\ 2,\ 3.........,\] we get \[\frac{\pi }{n-m},\ \frac{2\pi }{n-m},\ \frac{3\pi }{n-m}.........\] which are obviously in A.P. Since common difference\[d=\frac{\pi }{n-m}\].
