Let $\theta \in\Bigg(0,\frac{\pi}{4}\Bigg) and t_1=(tan \theta)^{tan \theta}, t_2=(tan \theta)^{cot \theta},t_3=(cot \theta)^{tan \theta} and t_4=(cot \theta)^{cot \theta}, then$
- $t_1 > t_2 > t_3 >t_4$
- $t_4 > t_3 > t_1 >t_2$
- $t_3 > t_1 > t_2 >t_4$
- $t_2 > t_3 > t_1 >t_4$
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The correct option is:(B): t4>t3>t1>t2.
Given: t1=tanθtanθ
This implies: logt1=tanθlog(tanθ)=tanθlog(cotθ)
Which further leads to: t1=−(cotθtanθ)
Thus: t2 and �1>�2t1>t2
Similarly, t4=cotθcotθ
This implies: log logt4=cotθlog(cotθ)=cotθlog(tanθ)
Which further leads to: t4=−(cotθtanθ)
Thus: t4=−t3 and t4>t3
In the range θ∈(0,24π),cotθ>tanθ
⇒ t4>t3>t1>t2.
Therefore, (b) is the answer.
