Solution
The correct option is
A
a
+
b
a
−
b
According to napiers analogy, we can write
cot

(
A
−
B
)
=
a
+
b
a
−
b

Also we know that
A
+
B
+
C
=
180
A
+
B
=
180
−
C
So,
tan
[
1
2
(
A
+
B
)
]
=
tan
[

−
C
]
=
cot

Putting equation (1) and (2) in the equation given in the question, we get
cot
[
1
2
(
A
−
B
)
]
tan
[
1
2
(
A
+
B
)
]
=
a
+
b
a
−
b
tan
[
C

cot
[
C

tan
and
cot
cancel out and we get
cot
[

(
A

]
tan
[

(
A
