In a triangle A B C , if 3 sin A + 4 cos B = 6 and 4 sin B + 3 cos A = 1 , then sin ( A + B ) is equal to

In a triangle ABC, if 3sinA+4cosB=6 and 4sinB+3cosA=1, then sin(A+B) is equal to
  1. 1
  2. 12
  3. 0
  4. cosC

Solution

Given, 3sinA+4cosB=6 and 4sinB+3cosA=1

On squaring and adding both the equations we get,

3sinA+4cosB2+4sinB+3cosA2=62+12

9sin2A+16cos2B+24sinAcosB+16sin2B+9cos2A+24sinBcosA=37

9sin2A+cos2A+16cos2B+sin2B+24sinAcosB+sinBcosA=37

Using sin2A+cos2A=1 and sin(A+B)=sinAcosB+cosAsinB

9+16+24sinA+B=37

24sinA+B=37-25=12

sin(A+B)=12
