[MP PET 1990]

Options:

A) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{3}{4},{{\tan }^{-1}}( -\frac{3}{4} ) $

B) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{1}{3},{{\tan }^{-1}}( -\frac{1}{3} ) $

C) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{4}{3},{{\tan }^{-1}}( -\frac{4}{3} ) $

D) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{1}{2},{{\tan }^{-1}}( -\frac{1}{2} ) $

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ \tan \theta =\pm 2\frac{\sqrt{h^{2}-ab}}{a+b}=\pm 2\frac{\sqrt{144-44}}{15}=\pm \frac{4}{3} $ .
$ \Rightarrow \theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}( \pm \frac{4}{3} ) $ .
