Question
Principal value of $\tan ^{-1}(-1)$ :

Answer

(C)
Suppose $\tan ^{-1}(-1)=x$
$\therefore$ tan x = -1 = -tan $45^{\circ}$
tan x =tan $\left(-45^{\circ}\right)$ $\therefore$ x = $-45^{\circ}$
$\because$The range of principal value branch of $\tan ^{-1} x$ is
$\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$.
Hence correct option is (C).
