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

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

    B) 3

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

    D) 2

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

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