    What is \[\frac{1-\tan {{2}^{0}}\cot {{62}^{0}}}{\tan {{152}^{0}}-\cot {{88}^{0}}}\] equal to?

    A) \[\sqrt{3}\]                    

    B) \[-\sqrt{3}\]

    C) \[\sqrt{2}-1\]                 

    D) \[1-\sqrt{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[L=\frac{1-\tan 2{}^\circ \cot 62{}^\circ }{\tan 152{}^\circ -\cot 88{}^\circ }=\frac{1-\tan 2{}^\circ \cot (90-28){}^\circ }{\tan (180-28){}^\circ -\cot (90-2){}^\circ }\]\[\Rightarrow \,\,L=\frac{1-\tan 2{}^\circ \tan 28{}^\circ }{-\tan 28{}^\circ -\tan 2{}^\circ }=-\left[ \frac{1-\tan 2{}^\circ \tan 28{}^\circ }{\tan 2{}^\circ +\tan 28{}^\circ } \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,L=-\frac{1}{\tan \,(2+28){}^\circ }=-\frac{1}{\tan 30{}^\circ }=-\sqrt{3}\]             \[\left[ \because \,\,\tan (A+B)=\frac{\tan A+\tan B}{1-\tan A\tan B} \right]\]
