Correct answer: B

  1. Let
θ=2tan⁡−115+sec⁡−152+2tan⁡−118.\theta=2\tan^{-1}\frac15+\sec^{-1}\frac{\sqrt5}{2}+2\tan^{-1}\frac18.θ=2tan−151​+sec−125​​+2tan−181​.

We need to find tan⁡θ\tan\thetatanθ.

  1. First, simplify each part.

(i) Compute tan⁡(2tan⁡−115)\tan\left(2\tan^{-1}\frac15\right)tan(2tan−151​)

Use

tan⁡(2A)=2tan⁡A1−tan⁡2A.\tan(2A)=\frac{2\tan A}{1-\tan^2 A}.tan(2A)=1−tan2A2tanA​.

Here tan⁡A=15\tan A=\frac15tanA=51​, so

tan⁡(2A)=2⋅151−(15)2=251−125=252425=512.\tan(2A)=\frac{2\cdot \frac15}{1-\left(\frac15\right)^2} =\frac{\frac25}{1-\frac1{25}} =\frac{\frac25}{\frac{24}{25}} =\frac{5}{12}.tan(2A)=1−(51​)22⋅51​​=1−251​52​​=2524​52​​=125​.

So,

tan⁡(2tan⁡−115)=512.\tan\left(2\tan^{-1}\frac15\right)=\frac{5}{12}.tan(2tan−151​)=125​.

(ii) Compute tan⁡(sec⁡−152)\tan\left(\sec^{-1}\frac{\sqrt5}{2}\right)tan(sec−125​​)

Let

B=sec⁡−152.B=\sec^{-1}\frac{\sqrt5}{2}.B=sec−125​​.

Then

sec⁡B=52.\sec B=\frac{\sqrt5}{2}.secB=25​​.

But for real values of sec⁡−1x\sec^{-1}xsec−1x, we must have

∣x∣≥1.|x|\ge 1.∣x∣≥1.

Here

52≈1.118>1,\frac{\sqrt5}{2}\approx 1.118>1,25​​≈1.118>1,

so this is valid. Then

cos⁡B=25.\cos B=\frac{2}{\sqrt5}.cosB=5​2​.

Since principal value of sec⁡−1\sec^{-1}sec−1 lies in [0,π][0,\pi][0,π], excluding π/2\pi/2π/2, and cos⁡B>0\cos B>0cosB>0, we get BBB in first quadrant. Hence

sin⁡B=1−cos⁡2B=1−45=15.\sin B=\sqrt{1-\cos^2 B}= \sqrt{1-\frac{4}{5}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt5}.sinB=1−cos2B​=1−54​​=5​1​.

Therefore,

tan⁡B=sin⁡Bcos⁡B=1525=12.\tan B=\frac{\sin B}{\cos B} =\frac{\frac1{\sqrt5}}{\frac2{\sqrt5}}=\frac12.tanB=cosBsinB​=5​2​5​1​​=21​.

So,

tan⁡(sec⁡−152)=12.\tan\left(\sec^{-1}\frac{\sqrt5}{2}\right)=\frac12.tan(sec−125​​)=21​.

(iii) Compute tan⁡(2tan⁡−118)\tan\left(2\tan^{-1}\frac18\right)tan(2tan−181​)

Again using

tan⁡(2C)=2tan⁡C1−tan⁡2C,\tan(2C)=\frac{2\tan C}{1-\tan^2 C},tan(2C)=1−tan2C2tanC​,

with tan⁡C=18\tan C=\frac18tanC=81​,

tan⁡(2C)=2⋅181−(18)2=141−164=146364=1663.\tan(2C)=\frac{2\cdot \frac18}{1-\left(\frac18\right)^2} =\frac{\frac14}{1-\frac1{64}} =\frac{\frac14}{\frac{63}{64}} =\frac{16}{63}.tan(2C)=1−(81​)22⋅81​​=1−641​41​​=6463​41​​=6316​.

So,

tan⁡(2tan⁡−118)=1663.\tan\left(2\tan^{-1}\frac18\right)=\frac{16}{63}.tan(2tan−181​)=6316​.
  1. Now let
X=2tan⁡−115,Y=sec⁡−152,Z=2tan⁡−118.X=2\tan^{-1}\frac15,\quad Y=\sec^{-1}\frac{\sqrt5}{2},\quad Z=2\tan^{-1}\frac18.X=2tan−151​,Y=sec−125​​,Z=2tan−181​.

Then

tan⁡X=512,tan⁡Y=12,tan⁡Z=1663.\tan X=\frac{5}{12},\quad \tan Y=\frac12,\quad \tan Z=\frac{16}{63}.tanX=125​,tanY=21​,tanZ=6316​.

We need

tan⁡(X+Y+Z).\tan(X+Y+Z).tan(X+Y+Z).

First compute tan⁡(X+Y)\tan(X+Y)tan(X+Y):

tan⁡(X+Y)=tan⁡X+tan⁡Y1−tan⁡Xtan⁡Y=512+121−512⋅12.\tan(X+Y)=\frac{\tan X+\tan Y}{1-\tan X\tan Y} =\frac{\frac{5}{12}+\frac12}{1-\frac{5}{12}\cdot\frac12}.tan(X+Y)=1−tanXtanYtanX+tanY​=1−125​⋅21​125​+21​​.

Now,

512+12=512+612=1112,\frac{5}{12}+\frac12=\frac{5}{12}+\frac{6}{12}=\frac{11}{12},125​+21​=125​+126​=1211​,

and

1−524=1924.1-\frac{5}{24}=\frac{19}{24}.1−245​=2419​.

Hence,

tan⁡(X+Y)=11121924=1112⋅2419=2219.\tan(X+Y)=\frac{\frac{11}{12}}{\frac{19}{24}}=\frac{11}{12}\cdot\frac{24}{19}=\frac{22}{19}.tan(X+Y)=2419​1211​​=1211​⋅1924​=1922​.
  1. Now compute tan⁡(X+Y+Z)\tan(X+Y+Z)tan(X+Y+Z):
tan⁡(X+Y+Z)=tan⁡(X+Y)+tan⁡Z1−tan⁡(X+Y)tan⁡Z=2219+16631−2219⋅1663.\tan(X+Y+Z)=\frac{\tan(X+Y)+\tan Z}{1-\tan(X+Y)\tan Z} =\frac{\frac{22}{19}+\frac{16}{63}}{1-\frac{22}{19}\cdot\frac{16}{63}}.tan(X+Y+Z)=1−tan(X+Y)tanZtan(X+Y)+tanZ​=1−1922​⋅6316​1922​+6316​​.

Take LCM in numerator:

2219+1663=22⋅63+16⋅1919⋅63=1386+3041197=16901197.\frac{22}{19}+\frac{16}{63} =\frac{22\cdot 63+16\cdot 19}{19\cdot 63} =\frac{1386+304}{1197} =\frac{1690}{1197}.1922​+6316​=19⋅6322⋅63+16⋅19​=11971386+304​=11971690​.

Denominator:

1−22⋅1619⋅63=1−3521197=1197−3521197=8451197.1-\frac{22\cdot 16}{19\cdot 63} =1-\frac{352}{1197} =\frac{1197-352}{1197} =\frac{845}{1197}.1−19⋅6322⋅16​=1−1197352​=11971197−352​=1197845​.

Thus,

tan⁡(X+Y+Z)=169011978451197=1690845=2.\tan(X+Y+Z)=\frac{\frac{1690}{1197}}{\frac{845}{1197}}=\frac{1690}{845}=2.tan(X+Y+Z)=1197845​11971690​​=8451690​=2.
  1. Therefore,
tan⁡(2tan⁡−115+sec⁡−152+2tan⁡−118)=2.\tan \left(2 \tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{5}+\sec ^{-1} \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}+2 \tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{8}\right)=2.tan(2tan−151​+sec−125​​+2tan−181​)=2.

So the correct option is B.
