If $\tan \theta=\frac{\cos 25^{\circ}+\sin 25^{\circ}}{\cos 25^{\circ}-\sin 25^{\circ}}$ and $\theta$ is in the third quadrant, then $\theta=$
  1. $200^{\circ}$
  2. $205^{\circ}$
  3. $225^{\circ}$
  4. $250^{\circ}$

Solution

$ \begin{gathered} \text { If } \tan \theta=\frac{\cos 25^{\circ}+\sin 25^{\circ}}{\cos 25^{\circ}-\sin 25^{\circ}}=\frac{1+\tan 25^{\circ}}{1-\tan 25^{\circ}} \\ =\tan \left(45^{\circ}+25^{\circ}\right) \end{gathered} $ $\because \theta$ is in the third quadrant, so $ \begin{aligned} & \tan \theta=\tan 70^{\circ}=\tan \left(180^{\circ}+70^{\circ}\right)=\tan 250^{\circ} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \theta=250^{\circ} \text {. } \\ & \end{aligned} $
