Solution

The correct option is A

2 tan β


Given:

cos 2α=3 cos 2β13cos 2β cos 2α1cos 2α+1=(3 cos 2β1)(3cos 2β)(3 cos 2β1)+(3cos 2β)

(Using componendo and dividendo)

cos 2α1cos 2α+1=4 cos 2β42 cos 2β+2 1cos 2α1+cos 2α=4(1cos 2β)2(1+cos 2β) 1cos 2α1+cos 2α=2(1cos 2β)(1+cos 2β) 2 sin2 α2 cos2 α=2(2 sin2 β)(2 cos2 β) tan2 α=2 tan2 β tan α=2 tan β
