If  cot⁡π2−θ)=13\cot\frac{\text{π}}{2}-\text{θ})=\frac{1}{\sqrt3}cot2π​−θ)=3​1​​, then find the value of cos θ\text{θ}θ​.
Question

If  cotπ2θ)=13\cot\frac{\text{π}}{2}-\text{θ})=\frac{1}{\sqrt3}​, then find the value of cos θ\text{θ}​.

A.

12\frac{1}{2}​​

B.

32\frac{\sqrt3}{2}​​

C.

3\sqrt3​​

D.

13\frac{1}{\sqrt3}​​

Correct option is B

Given: 

cot(π2θ)=13\cot(\frac{\text{π}}{2}-\text{θ})=\frac{1}{\sqrt3} 

To find ; cosθ\text{θ} 

Formula Used: 

cot(π2θ)=tanθ\cot(\frac{\text{π}}{2}-\text{θ})= \tan \theta  

tan30°=13 cos30°=32\tan30\degree = \frac1{\sqrt3} \\ \ \\ \cos 30\degree = \frac{\sqrt3}{2} 

Solution: 

cot(π2θ)=13 tanθ=13 tanθ=tan30° θ=30°\cot(\frac{\text{π}}{2}-\text{θ})=\frac{1}{\sqrt3} \\ \ \\ \tan \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt3} \\ \ \\ \tan \theta = \tan 30\degree \\ \ \\ \theta = 30\degree 

Now, 

cos30°=32\cos 30\degree = \frac{\sqrt3}{2}​​
