#### Solution

Given: $\text{ tan } x = \frac{a}{b}$

Now,

$b \cos2x + a \sin2x$
$= b \left( \frac{1 - \tan^2 x}{1 + \tan^2 x} \right) + a\left( \frac{2\text{ tan } x}{1 + \tan^2 x} \right)$
$= b\left( \frac{1 - \frac{a^2}{b^2}}{1 + \frac{a^2}{b^2}} \right) + a\left( \frac{2 \times \frac{a}{b}}{1 + \frac{a^2}{b^2}} \right)$
$= \frac{b\left( b^2 - a^2 \right)}{a^2 + b^2} + \frac{2 a^2 b}{a^2 + b^2}$

$= \frac{b^3 - a^2 b + 2 a^2 b}{a^2 + b^2}$
$= \frac{b^3 + a^2 b}{a^2 + b^2}$
$= \frac{b\left( b^2 + a^2 \right)}{a^2 + b^2}$
$= b$

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
Given:

$\text{ tan } x = \frac{a}{b}$
Now,
$b \cos2x + a \sin2x$
$= b \left( \frac{1 - \tan^2 x}{1 + \tan^2 x} \right) + a\left( \frac{2\text{ tan } x}{1 + \tan^2 x} \right)$
$= b\left( \frac{1 - \frac{a^2}{b^2}}{1 + \frac{a^2}{b^2}} \right) + a\left( \frac{2 \times \frac{a}{b}}{1 + \frac{a^2}{b^2}} \right)$
$= \frac{b\left( b^2 - a^2 \right)}{a^2 + b^2} + \frac{2 a^2 b}{a^2 + b^2}$

$= \frac{b^3 - a^2 b + 2 a^2 b}{a^2 + b^2}$

$= \frac{b^3 + a^2 b}{a^2 + b^2}$

$= \frac{b\left( b^2 + a^2 \right)}{a^2 + b^2}$

$= b$
