    If \[\tan \theta =\frac{a}{b},\] find the value of \[\frac{a\,\sin \,\theta -b\,\cos \,\theta }{a\,\sin \,\theta \,+\,b\,\cos \,\theta }\]

    A)  \[\frac{{{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\]

    B)  \[\frac{{{b}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}}\]

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\frac{a\,\sin \,\theta -b\,\cos \,\theta }{a\,\sin \,\theta -b\,\cos \,\theta }=\frac{a\,\tan \,\theta -b}{a\,\tan \,\theta +b}\] \[=\frac{a\cdot \frac{a}{b}-b}{a\cdot \frac{a}{b}+b}=\frac{{{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\] \[\left[ \tan \theta =\frac{a}{b}\,\,\text{(given)} \right]\]
