The correct answer is: A=B

Given that:atanA+btanB=(a+b)·tanA+B2

a{tanA-tanA+B2}=b{tanA+B2-tanB}

asinAcosA-sinA+B2cosA+B2=bsinA+B2cosA+B2-sinBcosB

asinAcosA+B2-cosAsinA+B2cosAcosA+B2=bcosBsinA+B2-sinBcosA+B2cosBcosA+B2

asinA-A+B2cosAcosA+B2=bsinA+B2-BcosBcosA+B2

asinA-B2cosA=bsinA-B2cosB

sinA-B2acosA-bcosB=0

As we know thatasinA=bsinB=k

sinA-B2ksinAcosA-ksinBcosB=0

sinA-B2tanA-tanB=0

sinA-B2=0 or (tanA-tanB)=0

A=B
