Question

For the next two (02) items that follow :

Given that \(\tan\left(\dfrac{A}{2}+\dfrac{B}{2}\right)=p\) and \(\tan\left(\dfrac{A}{2}-\dfrac{B}{2}\right)=q\), where \(pq\neq\pm1\).

What is \(\tan B\) equal to?

This question was previously asked in
NDA 2 2026 GAT Question Paper (13-Sep-2026)
The correct answer is

\(\dfrac{p-q}{1+pq}\)

Since \(B=\left(\dfrac{A}{2}+\dfrac{B}{2}\right)-\left(\dfrac{A}{2}-\dfrac{B}{2}\right)\), applying the tangent subtraction formula gives \(\tan B=\dfrac{p-q}{1+pq}\).
