    Suppose\[0<t<\frac{\pi }{2}\]and\[\sin t+\cos t=\frac{1}{5}\] then \[\tan \frac{t}{2}\] is equal to:

    A)  2                            

    B)         3

    C)  \[\frac{1}{3}\]                  

    D)         5

    E)  \[\frac{1}{5}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\sin t+\cos t=\frac{1}{5}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{2\tan \frac{t}{2}}{1{{\tan }^{2}}\frac{t}{2}}+\frac{1-{{\tan }^{2}}\frac{t}{2}}{1+{{\tan }^{2}}\frac{t}{2}}=\frac{1}{5}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[5\left( 2\tan \frac{t}{2}+1-{{\tan }^{2}}\frac{t}{2} \right)=1+{{\tan }^{2}}\frac{t}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[10\tan \frac{t}{2}+5-5{{\tan }^{2}}\frac{t}{2}=1+{{\tan }^{2}}\frac{t}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[6{{\tan }^{2}}\frac{t}{2}-10\tan \frac{t}{2}-4=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[6{{\tan }^{2}}\frac{t}{2}-12\tan \frac{t}{2}-2\tan \frac{t}{2}-4=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[6\tan \frac{t}{2}\left( \tan \frac{t}{2}-2 \right)-2\left( \tan \frac{t}{2}-2 \right)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\left( 6\tan \frac{t}{2}-2 \right)\left( \tan \frac{t}{2}-2 \right)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\tan \frac{t}{2}=\frac{1}{3},2\]for \[0<t<\frac{\pi }{2}\]                 \[\tan \frac{t}{2}=\frac{1}{3}\]
