MCQ
$\tan 15^\circ = $
  • A
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • B
    $\sqrt 3 - 2$
  • $2 - \sqrt 3 $
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
$2 - \sqrt 3 $
c
(c) $\tan {15^o} = \tan ({45^o} - {30^o})$

$ = \frac{{1 - 1/\sqrt 3 }}{{1 + 1/\sqrt 3 }} = \frac{{\sqrt 3 - 1}}{{\sqrt 3 + 1}} \times \frac{{\sqrt 3 - 1}}{{\sqrt 3 - 1}} $

$= 2 - \sqrt 3 $.
