Solution
Given:
\[\tan(A - B) = 1\text{ and }\sec(A + B) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\]
\[ \Rightarrow A - B = \frac{\pi}{4} . . . (1)\text{ and }A + B = \frac{\pi}{6} . . . (2)\]
Adding these equations we get:
\[ 2A = \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{\pi}{6}\]
\[ \Rightarrow A = \frac{5\pi}{24}\]
\[ \Rightarrow\text{ Smallest possible value of B }= \pi - \frac{5\pi}{24} = \frac{19\pi}{24} . \]
