Q.

Let θ(0,π4) and t1=(tanθ)tanθ, t2=(tanθ)cotθ, t3=(cotθ)tanθ, t4=(cotθ)cotθ, then           [2006]

1 t1>t2>t3>t4  
2 t4>t3>t1>t2  
3 t3>t1>t2>t4  
4 t2>t3>t1>t4  

Ans.

(2)

Given: θ(0,π4)tanθ<1 and cotθ>1

Let tanθ=1-x and cotθ=1+y, where x,y>0 and are very small, then

 t1=(1-x)1-x,  t2=(1-x)1+y,  t3=(1+y)1-x,  t4=(1+y)1+y

Clearly, t4>t3 and t1>t2 also, t3>t1

 t4>t3>t1>t2
