MCQ
In a $\triangle\text{ABC},$ if C is a right angle, then $\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}+\text{c}}\Big)+\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}+\text{b}}\Big)=$
  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  • $\frac{\pi}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{5\pi}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi}{6}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{\pi}{4}$
We know,
$\tan^{-1}\text{x}+\tan^{-1}\text{y}=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{x}+\text{y}}{1-\text{xy}}\Big)$

$\therefore\ \tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}+\text{c}}\Big)+\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}+\text{a}}\Big)=\tan^{-1}=\begin{pmatrix}\frac{\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}+\text{c}}+\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}+\text{a}}}{1-\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}+\text{c}}\times\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}+\text{a}}}\end{pmatrix}$

$=\tan^{-1}=\begin{pmatrix}\frac{\frac{\text{ac}+\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2+\text{bc}}{(\text{b}+\text{c})(\text{c}+\text{a})}}{\frac{\text{ac}+\text{c}^2+\text{bc}}{(\text{b}+\text{c})(\text{c}+\text{a})}}\end{pmatrix}$

$=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{ac}+\text{c}^2+\text{bc}}{\text{ac}+\text{c}^2+\text{bc}}\Big)$ $\big[\because\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2=\text{c}^2\big]$

$=\tan^{-1}(1)$

$=\tan^{-1}\Big(\tan\frac{\pi}{4}\Big)$

$=\frac{\pi}{4}$

Of the three independent events $E_1, E_2$ and $E_3$, the probability that only $E_1$ occurs is $\alpha$,only $E_2$ occurs is $\beta$ and only $E_3$ occurs is $\gamma$. Let the probability $p$ that none of events $E_1, E_2$ or $E_3$ occurs satisfy the equations ( $\alpha$ $-2 \beta) p=\alpha \beta$ and $(\beta-3 \gamma) p=2 \beta \gamma$. All the given probabilities are assumed to lie in the interval $(0,1)$.
