    A root of the equation \[17{{x}^{2}}+17x\tan \left( 2{{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{1}{5}-\frac{\pi }{4} \right)-10=0\] is

    A) \[\frac{10}{17}\]                                              

    B) \[-1\]

    C) \[-\frac{7}{17}\]                               

    D) \[1\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     We have, \[\tan \left( 2{{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{1}{5}-\frac{\pi }{4} \right)\] \[=\tan \left( {{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{5}{12}-{{\tan }^{-1}}1 \right)\]                                 \[\left[ \because 2{{\tan }^{-1}}x={{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{2x}{1-{{x}^{2}}} \right]\] \[=\tan \left\{ {{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\frac{5}{12}-1}{1+\frac{5}{12}} \right) \right\}=\frac{-7}{17}\] So, the given equation is \[17{{x}^{2}}-7x-10=0\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[(x-1)(17x+10)=0\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x=1,\frac{-10}{17}\]
