Question

B is a point situated vertically upwards on A at a distance of a unit. C is a point at a height ‘2a’ units from a horizontal passing through A and the angles of elevation of C from A and B are α and βrespectively, then cotαtanβ=  

Easy
Solution

We have tanβ=ax,    tanα=2ax=2.tanβ         cotα.tanβ=12
