    If \[\cos (\theta +\phi )=m\cos (\theta -\phi ),\]then \[\tan \theta \]is equal to:

    A) \[[(1+m)/(1-m)]\tan \phi \]

    B) \[[(1-m)/(1+m)]\tan \phi \]

    C)  \[[(1-m)/(1+m)]cot\phi \]

    D)  \[[(1+m)/(1-m)]sec\phi \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We have \[\cos (\theta +\phi )=mcos(\theta -\phi )\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\cos \theta \cos \phi -sin\theta \sin \phi \] \[=m(cos\theta \cos \phi \text{+}\,\text{sin}\theta \sin \phi )\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\cos \theta \cos \phi (1-m)=\sin \theta \sin \phi (1+m)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\tan \theta =\left( \frac{1-m}{1+m} \right)\cot \phi \]
