MCQ
If $\tan69^\circ+\tan66^\circ-\tan69^\circ\tan66^\circ=2\text{k},$ then $k =$
  • A
    $-1$
  • B
    $\frac12$
  • $\frac{-1}{2}$
  • D
    none of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{-1}{2}$
$\tan135^\circ=\tan(90^\circ+45^\circ)$
$=-\tan45^\circ$
$=-1$
Or, $\tan(69^\circ+66^\circ)=\frac{\tan69^\circ+\tan66^\circ}{1-\tan69^\circ\tan66^\circ}$
$\Rightarrow-1=\frac{\tan69^\circ+\tan66^\circ}{1-\tan69^\circ\tan66^\circ}$
$\Rightarrow\tan69^\circ+\tan66^\circ-\tan69^\circ+\tan66^\circ=-1$
$\therefore2\text{k}=-1$
$\Rightarrow\text{k}=\frac{-1}{2}$
