  2. B \(2\)
  3. C \(3\)
  4. D \(0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\tan ^{-1}\left(x+\frac{2}{x}\right)-\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{x}\right)=\tan ^{-1}\left(x-\frac{2}{x}\right)\) \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\left(x+\frac{2}{x}\right)-\frac{4}{x}}{1+\left(x+\frac{2}{x}\right)\left(\frac{4}{x}\right)}\right)=\tan ^{-1}\left(x-\frac{2}{x}\right)\)
