Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{16}{63}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \tan 2 \theta=\tan ((\theta+\phi)+(\theta-\phi))\left[\begin{array}{l}\because \tan (\theta+\phi)=\frac{4}{3} \\ \tan (\theta-\phi)=\frac{5}{12}\end{array}\right] \\ & =\frac{\tan (\theta+\phi)+\tan (\theta-\phi)}{1-\tan (\theta+\phi) \tan (\theta-\phi)} \\ &…
