Considering only the principal values of inverse functions, the setA=x0 : tan-12x+tan-13x=π4

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Given tan-12x+tan-13x=π4

tan-12x+3x1-2x×3x=π4

Applying tangent on both sides,

5x1-6x2=1 tanπ4=1

5x=1-6x2

6x2+5x-1=0

6x2+6x-x-1=0

6x-1x+1=0

x=-1, 16

But, since x0.

Hence, x=16

 A has only one element and thus, it is a singleton.
