MCQ
${\tan ^{ - 1}}\frac{{a - b}}{{1 + ab}} + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\frac{{b - c}}{{1 + bc}} = $
  • A
    ${\tan ^{ - 1}}a - {\tan ^{ - 1}}b$
  • ${\tan ^{ - 1}}a - {\tan ^{ - 1}}c$
  • C
    ${\tan ^{ - 1}}b - {\tan ^{ - 1}}c$
  • D
    ${\tan ^{ - 1}}c - {\tan ^{ - 1}}a$

Answer

Correct option: B.
${\tan ^{ - 1}}a - {\tan ^{ - 1}}c$
b
(b) ${\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{a - b}}{{1 + ab}}} \right) + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{b - c}}{{1 + bc}}} \right)$

$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}(a) - {\tan ^{ - 1}}(b) + {\tan ^{ - 1}}(b) - {\tan ^{ - 1}}(c)$

$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}(a) - {\tan ^{ - 1}}(c)$.
