The correct option is (D) 4.
(cot θ/2 - tan θ/2)2 (1 - 2 tan θ cot 2θ)
\(=(\cfrac{cos\,\theta/2}{sin\,\theta/2}-\cfrac{sin\,\theta/2}{cos\,\theta/2})^2\) (1 - 2 tan θ cot 2θ)
\(=(\cfrac{cos^2\,\theta/2-sin^2\,\theta/2}{sin\,\theta/2\;cos\,\theta/2})^2\) (1 - 2 tan θ cot 2θ)
\(=\left(\cfrac{2(cos^2\,\theta/2-sin^2\,\theta/2)}{2\,sin\,\theta/2\;cos\,\theta/2}\right)^2\) (1 - 2 tan θ cot 2θ)
\(=4(\frac{cos\,\theta}{sin\,\theta})^2\) (1 - 2 tan θ cot 2θ) (∵ cos2 θ/2 - sin2 θ/2 = cos θ & 2 sin θ/2 cos θ/2 = sin θ)
= 4 cot2θ \((1-\frac{2\,tan\,\theta}{tan\,2\theta})\)
= 4 cot2θ \(\left(1-\frac{2\,tan\,\theta}{\frac{2\,tan\,\theta}{1-tan^2\theta}}\right)\)
= 4 cot2θ (1 - (1 - tan2θ))
= 4 cot2θ (1 - 1 + tan2θ)
= 4 cot2θ tan2θ
= 4.
