Open in App
Solution

To show:
tan 7° tan 23° tan 60° tan 67° tan 83° = 3

Now, LHS = tan 7° tan 23° tan 60° tan 67° tan 83°
= tan (90 − 83)° × tan (90 – 67)° × tan 60° × tan 67° × tan 83°
= cot 83° × cot 67° × tan 60° × tan 67° × tan 83° [tan (90 − θ) = cot θ]
= cot 83° × tan 83° × cot 67° × tan 67° × tan 60°
= 1 × 1 × tan 60° [cot θ × tan θ = 1]
= 3 (From the table)
= RHS
