Question:

The value of $tan^{-1}\frac{2}{11}+tan^{-1}\frac{7}{24}$ is :

Options:

$tan^{-1}\frac{1}{2}$

$tan^{-1}2$

$tan^{-1}\frac{1}{3}$

$tan^{-1}3$

Correct Answer:

$tan^{-1}\frac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → $\tan^{-1}\frac{1}{2}$

$\tan^{-1}\frac{2}{11}+\tan^{-1}\frac{7}{24}$

$=\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\frac{2}{11}+\frac{7}{24}}{1-\frac{2×7}{11×24}}\right)$

$=\tan^{-1}\frac{1}{2}$
