Solution

We know that
\[\tan(A - B) = \frac{\tan A - \tan B}{1 + \tan A\tan B}\]
\[ = \frac{\frac{m}{m - 1} - \frac{1}{2m - 1}}{1 + \frac{m}{(m - 1)(2m - 1)}}\]
\[ = \frac{2 m^2 - m - m + 1}{2 m^2 - m - 2m + 1 + m}\]
\[ = \frac{2 m^2 - 2m + 1}{2 m^2 - 2m + 1}\]
\[ = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow A - B = \tan^{- 1} (1) \]
\[ \Rightarrow A - B = \frac{\pi}{4}\]
