Dear student
as we know tan 45 degree = 1
hence tan 10 degree will be less than 1 as tan is increasing function.
also it is irrational number

Solution :
Since tan θ is an increasing function on (0,π/2)
∴tan10∘
Thus option (c ) is true.
Now, tan30∘=3tan10∘−tan310∘1−3tan210∘
If tan10∘ is a trational number, then 3tan10∘−tan310∘1−3tan210∘ must be a rational number, which is not true,
Hence, tan10∘ is an irrational number.
