    If \[A>0,\,B>0\]and \[B=\frac{\pi }{6}\], then the minimum value of tanA + tanB is   JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 10 April 2016)

    A) \[2-\sqrt{3}\]       

    B) \[\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\]

    C) \[\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}\]                          

    D) \[4-2\sqrt{3}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                 \[A,\,B\,>\,0\]and A \[A+B=\frac{\pi }{6}\] Let y = tanA + tanB \[\frac{dy}{dA}={{\sec }^{2}}A-{{\sec }^{2}}\left( \frac{\pi }{6}-A \right)\] Hence\[\tan A+\tan B\uparrow \forall A\in \left[ \frac{\pi }{12},\frac{\pi }{6} \right]\] and \[\tan A+\tan B\downarrow \forall A\in \left[ 0,\frac{\pi }{12} \right]\], clearly tanA + tanB is minimum when \[A=B=\frac{\pi }{12}\] \[\Rightarrow \,{{y}_{\min }}=2\tan \frac{\pi }{12}\] \[=\left( 2-\sqrt{3} \right)\times 2=4-2\sqrt{3}\]
