    \[\frac{\cos 17{}^\circ +\sin 17{}^\circ }{\cos 17{}^\circ -\sin 17{}^\circ }=\]      [MP PET 1998]

    A) \[\tan 62{}^\circ \]

    B) \[\tan 56{}^\circ \]

    C) \[\tan 54{}^\circ \]

    D) \[\tan 73{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Divided by \[\cos \,\,{{17}^{o}}\] in numerator and denominator, we get, \[\frac{\cos \,\,{{17}^{o}}+\sin \,\,{{17}^{o}}}{\cos \,\,{{17}^{o}}-\sin \,\,{{17}^{o}}}\] \[=\frac{1+\tan \,\,{{17}^{o}}}{1-\tan \,\,{{17}^{o}}}=\frac{\tan \,\,{{45}^{o}}+\tan \,\,{{17}^{o}}}{1-\tan \,\,{{45}^{o}}\tan \,\,{{17}^{o}}}=\tan \,\,{{62}^{o}}\].
