Solution

The correct option is B

We have, tan $α$ = $\frac{m}{m + 1}$ and tan $β$ = $\frac{1}{2 m + 1}$

We know tan( $α + β)$ = $\frac{t a n α + t a n β}{1 - t a n α t a n β}$

= $\frac{\frac{m}{m + 1} + \frac{1}{2 m + 1}}{1 - \frac{m}{(m + 1)} \frac{1}{(2 m + 1)}}$ = $\frac{2 m^{2} + m + m + 1}{2 m^{2} + m + 2 m + 1 - m}$

= $\frac{2 m^{2} + 2 m + 1}{2 m^{2} + 2 m + 1}$ = 1 $\Rightarrow$ tan( $α$ + $β$ ) = tan $\frac{π}{4}$

Hence, $α + β$ = $\frac{π}{4}$ .

Trick: As $α + β$ is independent of m, therefore put m = 1,

then tan $α$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ and tan $β$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ . Therefore,

tan $(α + β)$ = $\frac{(\frac{1}{2}) + \frac{1}{3}}{1 - (\frac{1}{6})}$ = 1. Hence $α$ + $β$ = $\frac{π}{4}$ .

(Also check for other values of m).
