If tan1y=4tan1x, then 1/y is zero for

a
x=1±2
b
x=2±3
c
x=3±22
d
all values of x

detailed solution

Correct option is A

If we put x = tanθ, the given equality becomes tan–1y = 4θ⇒y=tan⁡4θ=2tan⁡2θ1−tan2⁡2θ=22tan⁡θ1−tan2⁡θ1−2tan⁡θ1−tan2⁡θ2=2×2x1−x21−x22−4x2=4x1−x21−6x2+x4∴1y is zero if x4−6x2+1=0⇒x2=6±36−42=3±22=(1±2)2
