Solution

3 acosx+2 bsinx=c and α+β=π3
Substituting x=α and x=β,
3 acosα+2 bsinα=c..................(i)
3 acosβ+2 bsinβ=c..................(ii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from (i),
3 a(cosαcosβ)+2 b(sinαsinβ)=03 a[2sin(α+β2)sin(αβ2)]+2 b[2cos(α+β2)sin(αβ2)]=0
using α+β=π3,
3 a[sin(αβ2)]+2 b[3sin(αβ2)]=0
3 a+23 b=0ba=0.5
