    If \[\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}a,\varphi ={{\tan }^{-1}}b\] and \[ab=-1,\] then \[\theta -\varphi =\]

    A) 0

    B) \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    C) \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Given that \[\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}a\] and \[\varphi ={{\tan }^{-1}}b\] and \[ab=-1\]. \[\Rightarrow \tan \theta \tan \varphi =-1\Rightarrow \tan \theta =-\cot \varphi \] \[\Rightarrow \theta -\varphi =\frac{\pi }{2}\].
