Solution

The correct option is B $\frac{(2 a b s i n θ)}{(a^{2} - b^{2} c o s^{2} θ)}$
Given that the angle between $\to a$ and $\to b$ is $θ$

Since $(\to a + \to b)$ makes an angle of $α$ with $\to a$ , hence

$⟹ t a n α = \frac{b s i n θ}{(a + b c o s θ)}$

Similarly, $(\to a - \to b)$ makes an angle of $β$ with $\to a$ , Hence

$⟹ t a n β = \frac{b s i n θ}{(a - b c o s θ)}$

Adding both the equation we get,

$⟹ t a n α + t a n β = \frac{b s i n θ}{(a + b c o s θ)} + \frac{b s i n θ}{(a - b c o s θ)}$

$⟹ t a n α + t a n β = b s i n θ [\frac{1}{(a + b c o s θ)} + \frac{1}{(a - b c o s θ)}]$

$⟹ t a n α + t a n β = b s i n θ [\frac{(a - b c o s θ + a + b c o s θ)}{(a + b c o s θ) (a - b c o s θ)}]$

$⟹ t a n α + t a n β = \frac{2 a b s i n θ}{a ² - b ² c o s ² θ}$
