Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\theta=\frac{n \pi}{12}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(\tan \theta+\tan 4 \theta+\tan 7 \theta=\tan \theta \tan 4 \theta \tan 7 \theta\) \(\tan \theta+\tan 4 \theta=\tan \theta \tan 4 \theta \tan 7 \theta-\tan 7 \theta\) \(\tan \theta+\tan 4 \theta=-\tan 7 \theta(1-\tan \theta \tan 4 \theta)\)…
