    Question

    If cot 35° = 2-3\sqrt3​ then the value of tan 35° cot 55° + tan 55° cot 35° is:

    A.

    14

    B.

    13

    C.

    15

    D.

    12

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    cot 35° = 2-√3
    Formula Used:
    cot(90-θ)= tan θ
    tan (90-θ)= cot θ
    tanθ= 1cotθ\frac1{cot θ}

    ​​Solution:
    cot 35°= 2-3\sqrt 3​​
    tan 35°= 1cot35°\frac1{cot 35 \degree}= 1232+32+3=2+343\frac{1}{2 - \sqrt{3}} \cdot \frac{2 + \sqrt{3}}{2 + \sqrt{3}}= {\frac{2 + \sqrt{3}}{4 - 3}}
    tan 35°=2+32 + \sqrt{3}
    = tan 35° cot 55° + tan 55° cot 35°
    = tan35° .cot (90-35)° +tan (90-35)° cot 35°
    = tan35° .tan 35° + cot 35° . cot 35°
    =(tan35)2+(cot35)2=(2+3)2+(23)2=(4+43+3)+(443+3)=4+3+4+3=14= (\tan 35)^{2} + (\cot 35)^{2} \\= (2+\sqrt{3})^{2} + (2-\sqrt{3})^{2} \\= (4 + 4\sqrt{3} + 3) + (4 - 4\sqrt{3} + 3) \\= 4 + 3 + 4 + 3 = 14​​
