Question:

What will be the value of $\frac{tan 45°- tan 15°}{1+tan 45° tan 15°}$?

Options:

$\sqrt{3}$

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

$\sqrt{2}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Explanation:

$\frac{tan 45°- tan 15°}{1+tan 45° tan 15°}$

= tan(45 - 15)° = tan30° = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Since, $\frac{tan A- tan B}{1+tan A tan B}$  =tan(A - B)
