Let \(\theta \in\left(0, \frac{\pi}{4}\right)\) and \(t_1=(\tan \theta)^{\tan \theta},\) \(t_2=(\tan \theta)^{\cot \theta}\) and \(t_4=(\cot \theta)^{\tan \theta}\), then

  1. A \(t_1>t_2>t_3>t_4\)
  2. B \(t_4>t_3>t_1>t_2\)
  3. C \(t_3>t_1>t_2>t_4\)
  4. D \(t_2>t_3>t_1>t_4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(t_4>t_3>t_1>t_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As when \(\theta \in\left(0, \frac{\pi}{4}\right)\)
\(\tan \theta < \cot \theta\)
Since, \(\tan \theta < 1\) and \(\cot \theta>1\)
\(\therefore(\tan \theta)^{\cot \theta} < 1\) and \((\cot \theta)^{\tan \theta}>1\)
\(\therefore t_4>t_1\) which only holds in option (b).
