  • question_answer
    If in \[\Delta ABC\], \[a=6,\text{ }b=3\] and \[\cos (A-B)=\frac{4}{5},\] then the area of the \[\Delta ABC\] is

    A) 7 sq. units                     

    B) 6 sq. units

    C) 9 sq. units          

    D) 13 sq. units

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[\cos (A-B)=\frac{1-{{\tan }^{2}}\left( \frac{A-B}{2} \right)}{1+{{\tan }^{2}}\left( \frac{A-B}{2} \right)}=\frac{4}{5}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\tan \left( \frac{A-B}{2} \right)=\frac{1}{3}\] Now,  \[\tan \left( \frac{A-B}{2} \right)=\frac{a-b}{a+b}\cot \frac{C}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\cot \frac{C}{2}=1\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,C=\pi /2\] \[\Delta =\frac{1}{2}ab=9\]
