The value of tan5°tan25°tan45°tan65°tan85° is equal to _________________.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 1.

tan(90° - θ) = cot(θ)

tan5° × tan25° × tan45° × tan65° × tan85°

= tan5° × tan25° × 1 × tan65° × tan85°

= tan5° × tan(25° × cot25° × cot5°

= tan5° × cot5° × tan25° × cot25°

= 1 × 1 = 1
