    If\[\sin 4A-\cos 2A=\cos 4A-\sin 2A,\]\[\left( 0<A<\frac{\pi }{4} \right)\]then the value of tan 4A is

    A)  \[1\]                                    

    B)  \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\]

    C)  \[\sqrt{3}\]                       

    D)         \[\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{3}+1}\]

    E)  \[\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{3}-1}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let \[\tan 4A=\sqrt{3}=\tan \frac{\pi }{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[A=\frac{\pi }{12}\] \[\therefore \] \[sin\text{ }4A-cos\text{ }2A=sin\frac{\pi }{3}-cos\frac{\pi }{6}\]                                 \[=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=0\] and \[\cos 4A-\sin 2A=\sin \frac{\pi }{3}-\sin \frac{\pi }{6}\]                                 \[=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}=0\]     \[\therefore \] \[sin\text{ }4A-cos\text{ }2A=cos\text{ }4A-sin\text{ }2A\] Hence, our assumption is true. \[\therefore \] \[\tan 4A=\sqrt{3}\]
