    If \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{1-x}{1+x}=\frac{1}{2}{{\tan }^{-1}}x,\]then values of \[x\]is

    A) \[\frac{1}{2}\]                   

    B)         \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\]                    

    C)  \[\sqrt{3}\]                       

    D)         2

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\because \]     \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{1-x}{1+x}=\frac{1}{2}{{\tan }^{-1}}x\] Let          \[x=\tan \theta \] \[\therefore \]  \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1-\tan \theta }{1+\tan \theta } \right)=\frac{1}{2}{{\tan }^{-1}}(tan\theta )\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \tan \left( \frac{\pi }{4}-\theta  \right) \right)=\frac{1}{2}{{\tan }^{-1}}(tan\theta )\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{\pi }{4}-\theta =\frac{\theta }{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{3\theta }{2}=\frac{\pi }{4}\Rightarrow \theta =\frac{\pi }{6}.\] \[\therefore \]  \[x=\tan \theta =\tan \frac{\pi }{6}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\]
