  1. A 3π4
  2. B -π6
  3. C π6
  4. D -3π4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) -3π4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that: tan-1(-2)-tan-1(3) As we know that, tan-1(-x)=-tan-1x =-tan-1(2)-tan-1(3) =-(tan-1(2)+tan-1(3)) As we know that,tan-1(x)+tan-1(y) =π+tan-1(x+y1-xy) when xy>1 . =-π-tan-1(2+31-2×3) =-π-tan-1(-1) =-π+tan-11 =-3π4
