    \[2{{\tan }^{-1}}(\cos ec{{\tan }^{-1}}x-\tan \,\,{{\cot }^{-1}}x)\]is equal to

    A) \[{{\cot }^{-1}}x\]                           

    B) \[{{\cot }^{-1}}\frac{1}{x}\]

    C) \[{{\tan }^{-1}}x\]           

    D)         None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The given expression                 \[=2{{\tan }^{-1}}[\cos ec{{\tan }^{-1}}x-\tan {{\cot }^{-1}}x]\]                 \[=2{{\tan }^{-1}}\left[ \cos ec\left\{ \cos e{{c}^{-1}}\frac{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}}{x} \right\} \right.\]                                                 \[\left. -\tan \left\{ {{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{x} \right) \right\} \right]\] \[=2{{\tan }^{-1}}\left[ \frac{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}}{x}-\frac{1}{x} \right]=2{{\tan }^{-1}}\left[ \frac{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}-1}{x} \right]\]                 \[=2{{\tan }^{-1}}\left[ \frac{\sec \theta -1}{\tan \theta } \right]\]            [putting\[x=\tan \theta \]]                 \[={{\tan }^{-1}}\left[ \frac{1-\cos \theta }{\sin \theta } \right]\]                 \[=2{{\tan }^{-1}}\left[ \frac{2{{\sin }^{2}}\frac{\theta }{2}}{2\sin \frac{\theta }{2}\cdot \cos \frac{\theta }{2}} \right]\]                 \[=2{{\tan }^{-1}}\tan \frac{\theta }{2}=2\cdot \frac{\theta }{2}=\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}x\]
