A vertical pole subtends an angle \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\) at a point \(P\) on the ground. If the angles substended by the upper half and the lower half of the pole at \(P\) are respectively \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\), then \((\tan \alpha, \tan \beta)\) is equal to

  1. A \(\left(\frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{5}\right)\)
  2. B \(\left(\frac{1}{5}, \frac{2}{9}\right)\)
  3. C \(\left(\frac{2}{9}, \frac{1}{4}\right)\)
  4. D \(\left(\frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{9}\right)\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left(\frac{2}{9}, \frac{1}{4}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(A C\) be a pole and point \(P\) be the position on of the ground. Given, \(\theta=\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{2}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \tan \theta=\frac{1}{2}\) Also, \(\quad \theta=\alpha+\beta\)…
