Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2022

The value of $${\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{\cos \left( {{{15\pi } \over 4}} \right) - 1} \over {\sin \left( {{\pi \over 4}} \right)}}} \right)$$ is equal to :

  1. A $- {\pi \over 4}$
  2. B $- {\pi \over 8}$ Correct answer
  3. C $- {{5\pi } \over {12}}$
  4. D $- {{4\pi } \over 9}$

Solution

<p>$${\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{\cos \left( {{{15\pi } \over 4}} \right) - 1} \over {\sin {\pi \over 4}}}} \right)$$</p> <p>$$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{{1 \over {\sqrt 2 }} - 1} \over {{1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}}}} \right)$$</p> <p>$= {\tan ^{ - 1}}(1 - \sqrt 2 ) = - {\tan ^{ - 1}}(\sqrt 2 - 1)$</p> <p>$= - {\pi \over 8}$</p>
