- $\frac{1 + \lambda}{1 - \lambda}$
- $\frac{1 - \lambda}{1 + \lambda}$
- $\frac{ \lambda}{1 + \lambda}$
- $\frac{ \lambda}{1 - \lambda}$
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Now, $\tan (x - y) \, \tan \, y$
$ = \frac{\sin \, x-y \, \sin \, y}{\cos \, x-y \, \cos \, y} \times \frac{2}{2}$
$ = \frac{\cos \, x-2y - \cos \, x}{\cos \, x - 2y + \cos \, x}$
$ = \frac{1 - \frac{\cos \, x}{\cos \, x - 2y}}{ 1 + \frac{\cos \, x}{ \cos \, x -2y}}$
$ = \frac{1 - \lambda}{ 1 +\lambda} $
Given , $\lambda = \frac{\cos \, x}{ \cos \, x - 2y}$
$ = \frac{\sin \, x-y \, \sin \, y}{\cos \, x-y \, \cos \, y} \times \frac{2}{2}$
$ = \frac{\cos \, x-2y - \cos \, x}{\cos \, x - 2y + \cos \, x}$
$ = \frac{1 - \frac{\cos \, x}{\cos \, x - 2y}}{ 1 + \frac{\cos \, x}{ \cos \, x -2y}}$
$ = \frac{1 - \lambda}{ 1 +\lambda} $
Given , $\lambda = \frac{\cos \, x}{ \cos \, x - 2y}$

Various trigonometric identities are as follows:
Even and Odd Functions
Cosecant and Secant are even functions, all the others are odd.
- sin (-A) = – sinA,
- cos (-A) = cos A,
- cosec (-A) = -cosec A,
- cot (-A) = -cot A,
- tan (-A) = – tan A,
- sec (-A) = sec A.

Sum and Difference Identities
- T-Ratios of (x + y)
