Solution
Given that: `(sin(x + y))/(sin(x - y)) = (a + b)/(a - b)`
⇒ `(sin(x + y) + sin(x - y))/(sin(x + y) - sin(x - y)) = (a + b + a - b)/(a + b - a + b)` .....(Using componendo and dividendo theorem)
⇒ `(2sin((x + y + x - y)/2) cos ((x + y - x + y)/2))/(2cos((x + y + x - y)/2) sin((x + y - x + y)/2)) = (2a)/(2b)`
⇒ `(sinx . cos y)/(cosx . sin y) = a/b`
⇒ tan x.cot y = `a/b`
⇒ `tanx/tany = a/b`
Hence proved.
