    If two angles of a triangle are \[{{45}^{o}}\] and \[{{\tan }^{-1}}(2),\] then the third angle is        

    A)  \[{{60}^{o}}\]    

    B)  \[{{75}^{o}}\]

    C)  \[{{\tan }^{-1}}3\]

    D)  \[{{90}^{o}}\]                       

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let the third angle is \[\theta \]. In a triangle,  \[\frac{\pi }{4}+{{\tan }^{-1}}2+\theta =\pi \] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\theta =\pi -\frac{\pi }{4}-{{\tan }^{-1}}2\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\tan \theta =\tan [\pi -(\pi /4+{{\tan }^{-1}}2)]\] \[=-\tan (\pi /4+{{\tan }^{-1}}2)\] \[=-\frac{\tan \pi /4+\tan ({{\tan }^{-1}}2)}{1-\tan (\pi /4)\tan ({{\tan }^{-1}}2)}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\tan \theta =-\frac{1+2}{1-2}=3\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}3\]
