The value of

\tan 40^\circ + \tan 20^\circ + \sqrt 3 \tan 20^\circ \tan 40^\circ

is equal to

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

\sqrt 3

Option D (

\sqrt{3}

) is correct because by using the tangent addition formula,

\tan(A+B) = \frac{\tan A + \tan B}{1 - \tan A \tan B}

, and rearranging the terms, we can show that the given expression is equal to

\tan 60^\circ = \sqrt{3}
