Step-by-Step Solution

To find the value of m+nm + n, we first determine the minimum value of f(θ)f(\theta) and the maximum value of g(θ)g(\theta).

Step 1: Minimum value of f(θ)f(\theta) The given function is: f(θ)=αtan2θ+βcot2θ,for 0<θ<π2f(\theta) = \alpha \tan^2 \theta + \beta \cot^2 \theta, \quad \text{for } 0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}

Since α>0\alpha > 0, β>0\beta > 0, and tan2θ,cot2θ>0\tan^2 \theta, \cot^2 \theta > 0 for θ(0,π2)\theta \in \left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right), we can apply the Arithmetic Mean - Geometric Mean (AM-GM) inequality: αtan2θ+βcot2θ2(αtan2θ)(βcot2θ)\frac{\alpha \tan^2 \theta + \beta \cot^2 \theta}{2} \ge \sqrt{(\alpha \tan^2 \theta)(\beta \cot^2 \theta)} f(θ)2αβf(\theta) \ge 2\sqrt{\alpha \beta}

Equality holds when αtan2θ=βcot2θ    tan4θ=βα\alpha \tan^2 \theta = \beta \cot^2 \theta \implies \tan^4 \theta = \frac{\beta}{\alpha}, which has a valid solution for θ(0,π2)\theta \in \left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right). Thus, min0<θ<π2f(θ)=2αβ\min_{0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}} f(\theta) = 2\sqrt{\alpha\beta}

Step 2: Maximum value of g(θ)g(\theta) The given function is: g(θ)=αsin2θ+βcos2θ,for 0<θ<πg(\theta) = \alpha \sin^2 \theta + \beta \cos^2 \theta, \quad \text{for } 0 < \theta < \pi

Rewriting g(θ)g(\theta): g(θ)=αsin2θ+β(1sin2θ)=β+(αβ)sin2θg(\theta) = \alpha \sin^2 \theta + \beta (1 - \sin^2 \theta) = \beta + (\alpha - \beta) \sin^2 \theta

Given that α>β>0\alpha > \beta > 0, we have (αβ)>0(\alpha - \beta) > 0. For θ(0,π)\theta \in (0, \pi), 0<sin2θ10 < \sin^2 \theta \le 1, with the maximum occurring at θ=π2\theta = \frac{\pi}{2} where sin2(π2)=1\sin^2\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 1. max0<θ<πg(θ)=β+(αβ)(1)=α\max_{0 < \theta < \pi} g(\theta) = \beta + (\alpha - \beta)(1) = \alpha

Step 3: Relationship between α\alpha and β\beta We are given that minf(θ)=maxg(θ)\min f(\theta) = \max g(\theta): 2αβ=α2\sqrt{\alpha\beta} = \alpha

Squaring both sides: 4αβ=α24\alpha\beta = \alpha^2

Since α>0\alpha > 0, we divide by α\alpha: α=4β    αβ=4\alpha = 4\beta \implies \frac{\alpha}{\beta} = 4

Step 4: Sum of the Geometric Progression (G.P.) The first term aa and common ratio rr of the G.P. are given by: a=α2β=4β2β=2a = \frac{\alpha}{2\beta} = \frac{4\beta}{2\beta} = 2 r=2βα=2β4β=12r = \frac{2\beta}{\alpha} = \frac{2\beta}{4\beta} = \frac{1}{2}

The sum of the first 1010 terms (S10S_{10}) of this G.P. is: S10=a(1r101r)=2(1(12)10112)=4(111024)=4(10231024)=1023256S_{10} = a \left( \frac{1 - r^{10}}{1 - r} \right) = 2 \left( \frac{1 - \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{10}}{1 - \frac{1}{2}} \right) = 4 \left( 1 - \frac{1}{1024} \right) = 4 \left( \frac{1023}{1024} \right) = \frac{1023}{256}

We are given S10=mnS_{10} = \frac{m}{n} with gcd(m,n)=1\gcd(m, n) = 1. Since 10231023 is an odd integer and 256=28256 = 2^8, gcd(1023,256)=1\gcd(1023, 256) = 1.

Therefore: m=1023m = 1023 n=256n = 256

m+n=1023+256=1279m + n = 1023 + 256 = 1279
