    If \[\sin A+\sin B=C,\cos A+\cos B=D,\]then the value of \[\sin (A+B)=\]        [MP PET 1986]

    A) \[CD\]

    B) \[\frac{CD}{{{C}^{2}}+{{D}^{2}}}\]

    C) \[\frac{{{C}^{2}}+{{D}^{2}}}{2\,CD}\]

    D) \[\frac{2\,CD}{{{C}^{2}}+{{D}^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    As given \[\frac{\sin A+\sin B}{\cos A+\cos B}=\frac{C}{D}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{2\,\,\sin \frac{A+B}{2}.\cos \frac{A-B}{2}}{2\cos \frac{A+B}{2}.\cos \frac{A-B}{2}}=\frac{C}{D}\]\[\Rightarrow \,\,\tan \frac{A+B}{2}=\frac{C}{D}\] Thus, \[\sin \,(A+B)=\frac{2\,\,\tan \frac{A+B}{2}}{1+{{\tan }^{2}}\frac{A+B}{2}}\] \[=\frac{2\,\frac{C}{D}}{1+\frac{{{C}^{2}}}{{{D}^{2}}}}=\frac{2CD}{({{C}^{2}}+{{D}^{2}})}\].
