Solution

Dear student
Given:tan-1x,tan-1y,tan-1z are in A.P2tan-1y=tan-1x+tan-1z2tan-1y=tan-1x+z1-xz As tan-1x+tan-1z=tan-1x+z1-xztan-12y1-y2=tan-1x+z1-xz As 2tan-1x=tan-12x1-x22y1-y2=x+z1-xz2y-2xyz=x+z-xy2-y2z x+xyz-y-y2z=y+xy2-z-xyzx-y1+yz=y-z1+xy y-x(1+yz)=(z-y)(1+xy) ....1Also, x,y,z are in APy-x=z-y ...(2)So, 1 becomes1+yz=1+xyyz=xyz=xSo, (2) becomesy-z=z-yy+y=z+z2y=2zy=zHence x=y=z
