MCQ
The value of $\tan 7\frac{1}{2}^\circ $ is equal to
  • A
    $\sqrt 6 + \sqrt 3 + \sqrt 2 - 2$
  • $\sqrt 6  - \sqrt 3  + \sqrt 2  - 2$
  • C
    $\sqrt 6 - \sqrt 3 + \sqrt 2 + 2$
  • D
    $\sqrt 6 - \sqrt 3 - \sqrt 2 - 2$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\sqrt 6  - \sqrt 3  + \sqrt 2  - 2$
b
(b) We have $\tan A = \frac{{\sin A}}{{\cos A}} $

$= \frac{{2\sin A\cos A}}{{2{{\cos }^2}A}} = \frac{{\sin 2A}}{{1 + {{\cos }^2}A}}$

Putting $A = 7{\frac{1}{2}^o} $

$\Rightarrow \tan 7{\frac{1}{2}^o} = \frac{{\sin {{15}^o}}}{{1 + \cos {{15}^o}}}$ 

On simplification, we get $\tan 7{\frac{1}{2}^o} = \sqrt 6 - \sqrt 3 + \sqrt 2 - 2$.
