    If \[{{\tan }^{-1}}x-{{\tan }^{-1}}y={{\tan }^{-1}}A,\]then A =  [MP PET 1988]

    A) \[x-y\]

    B) \[x+y\]

    C) \[\frac{x-y}{1+xy}\]

    D) \[\frac{x+y}{1-xy}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

      Given that \[{{\tan }^{-1}}x-{{\tan }^{-1}}y={{\tan }^{-1}}A\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{\tan }^{-1}}\,\left( \frac{x-y}{1+xy} \right)={{\tan }^{-1}}A\]. Hence\[A=\frac{x-y}{1+xy}\].
