Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\tan ^{-1} x+\tan ^{-1} y+\tan ^{-1} z=\frac{\pi}{2}\) \(\Rightarrow\left(\tan ^{-1} x+\tan ^{-1} y\right)+\tan ^{-1} z=\frac{\pi}{2}\) \(\Rightarrow \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x+y}{1-x y}\right)+\tan ^{-1} z=\frac{\pi}{2}\)…
