Correct Answer - Option 4 : 4/3
Concept:
Some useful formulas are,
sec2 θ - tan2 θ = 1
tan θ = \(\rm 1\over \cot θ\)
Calculation:
We know that,
sec2 θ - tan2 θ = 1; which can be written as,
(sec θ + tan θ)(sec θ - tan θ) = 1
Since, (tan θ - sec θ) = 2 ....(1)
We can write the above equation as,
⇒ (sec θ + tan θ) = - \(1\over 2\) ...(2)
By adding eq(1) and eq(2) we get,
2 tan θ = 2 - \(\rm 1\over 2\) = \(\rm 3\over 2\)
⇒ tan θ = \(\rm 3\over 4\)
⇒ cot θ = \(\rm 4\over 3\)
