The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the properties of arithmetic progression (A.P.) and the tangent function. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the A.P. Condition**: Since A, B, and C are in A.P., we can express A and C in terms of B: \[ A = B - d \quad \text{and} \quad C = B + d \] where \(d\) is the common difference. 2. **Substituting the Value of B**: We are given that \(B = \frac{\pi}{4}\). Therefore, we can write: \[ A = \frac{\pi}{4} - d \quad \text{and} \quad C = \frac{\pi}{4} + d \] 3. **Finding the Tangents**: We need to find \(\tan A\), \(\tan B\), and \(\tan C\): - For \(A\): \[ \tan A = \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4} - d\right) \] - For \(B\): \[ \tan B = \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = 1 \] - For \(C\): \[ \tan C = \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4} + d\right) \] 4. **Using Tangent Addition and Subtraction Formulas**: We can use the tangent subtraction and addition formulas: - \(\tan(A - B) = \frac{\tan A - \tan B}{1 + \tan A \tan B}\) - \(\tan(A + B) = \frac{\tan A + \tan B}{1 - \tan A \tan B}\) Therefore: \[ \tan A = \frac{\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) - \tan d}{1 + \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \tan d} = \frac{1 - \tan d}{1 + \tan d} \] \[ \tan C = \frac{\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) + \tan d}{1 - \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \tan d} = \frac{1 + \tan d}{1 - \tan d} \] 5. **Calculating the Product**: Now we need to find: \[ \tan A \cdot \tan B \cdot \tan C = \left(\frac{1 - \tan d}{1 + \tan d}\right) \cdot 1 \cdot \left(\frac{1 + \tan d}{1 - \tan d}\right) \] Simplifying this: \[ = \frac{(1 - \tan d)(1 + \tan d)}{(1 + \tan d)(1 - \tan d)} = 1 \] Thus, we conclude that: \[ \tan A \cdot \tan B \cdot \tan C = 1 \] ### Final Answer: \[ \tan A \tan B \tan C = 1 \]
