If $\tan 2\theta \tan \theta = 1$, then the general value of $\theta $ is

A

$\left( {n + \frac{1}{2}} \right)\frac{\pi }{3}$

B

$\left( {n + \frac{1}{2}} \right)\,\pi $

C

$\left( {2n \pm \frac{1}{2}} \right)\frac{\pi }{3}$

D

None of these

Solution

(a) $\tan 2\theta = \cot \theta $

==> $\tan 2\theta = \tan {\rm{ }}\left( {\frac{\pi }{2} – \theta } \right)$

$ \Rightarrow $ $2\theta = n\pi + \frac{\pi }{2} – \theta$

$\Rightarrow \theta = \frac{{n\pi }}{3} + \frac{\pi }{6}$.
