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​​
