    The value of \[\frac{\tan {{70}^{o}}-\tan {{20}^{o}}}{\tan {{50}^{o}}}\] is equal to:

    A)  2                                            

    B)  1    

    C)  0                                            

    D)  3

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    By \[\tan \,(A+B)=\frac{\tan A+\tan B}{1-\tan A\tan B}\] we have \[\tan {{70}^{o}}=\tan \,({{50}^{o}}+{{20}^{o}})\] \[\tan \,({{50}^{o}}+{{20}^{o}})=\frac{\tan {{50}^{o}}+\tan {{20}^{o}}}{1-\tan {{50}^{o}}\tan {{20}^{o}}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\tan {{70}^{o}}=\frac{\tan {{50}^{o}}+\tan {{20}^{o}}}{1-\tan {{50}^{o}}\tan {{20}^{o}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\tan {{70}^{o}}-(\tan {{50}^{o}}\tan {{20}^{o}})\,\tan {{70}^{o}}\] \[=\tan {{50}^{o}}+\tan {{20}^{o}}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\tan {{70}^{o}}-(\tan {{70}^{o}}\tan {{20}^{o}})\tan {{50}^{o}}\]                                                                 \[=\tan {{50}^{o}}+\tan {{20}^{o}}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\tan {{70}^{o}}-\cot {{20}^{o}}\tan {{20}^{o}}\tan {{50}^{o}}\]                                                                 \[=\tan {{50}^{o}}+\tan {{20}^{o}}\] [Using \[(90-\theta )=\cot \,\theta \]] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\tan {{70}^{o}}-\tan {{50}^{o}}=\tan {{50}^{o}}+\tan {{20}^{o}}\]                                                 \[[\tan \,\theta \,.\,\,\cot \theta =1]\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\tan {{70}^{o}}-\tan {{20}^{o}}=2\tan {{50}^{o}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{\tan {{70}^{o}}-\tan {{20}^{o}}}{\tan {{50}^{o}}}=2\]
