    The value of\[{{\tan }^{-1}}(2)+{{\tan }^{-1}}(3)\]is equal to

    A)  \[\frac{3\pi }{4}\]                           

    B)         \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    C)  \[\frac{\pi }{3}\]                             

    D)         \[{{\tan }^{-1}}(6)\]

    E)  \[{{\tan }^{-1}}(5)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[{{\tan }^{-1}}(2)+{{\tan }^{-1}}(3)\] \[={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{2+3}{1-2.3} \right)={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{5}{1-6} \right)\] \[\left[ \because {{\tan }^{-1}}x+{{\tan }^{-1}}y={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{x+y}{1-xy} \right) \right]\]                 \[={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{5}{-5} \right)={{\tan }^{-1}}(-1)\]                 \[={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \tan \left( \frac{\pi }{2}+\frac{\pi }{4} \right) \right)=\frac{3\pi }{4}\]
