    If \[co{{t}^{-\,1}}\,7+{{\cot }^{-\,1}}\,8+co{{t}^{-\,1}}\,18=\theta \] then \[\cot \,\,\theta \] is equal to -

    A) \[\frac{1}{13}\]

    B) 3    

    C) \[\frac{1}{2}\]  

    D) 2

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\because \,\,{{\cot }^{-\,1}}(7)+{{\cot }^{-\,1}}(8)+{{\cot }^{-\,1}}(18)=\theta \]
    \[\Rightarrow {{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{7} \right)+{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{8} \right)+{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{18} \right)=\theta \]\[\Rightarrow {{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{8}}{1+\frac{1}{7}.\frac{1}{8}} \right)+{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{18} \right)=\theta \]\[\Rightarrow {{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{3}{11} \right)+{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{18} \right)=\theta \]
    \[\Rightarrow {{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{65}{195} \right)=\theta \]\[\Rightarrow {{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)=\theta \]\[\Rightarrow {{\cot }^{-1}}(3)=\theta \]\[\Rightarrow \cot \theta =3\]
