MCQ
If $A + B =45^{\circ}$, then $(\cot A -1)(\cot B -1)=$
  • A
    $0$
  • 2
  • C
    1
  • D
    4

Answer

Correct option: B.
2
(B)
$A + B =45^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow \tan (A+B)=1$
$\Rightarrow \tan A+\tan B=1-\tan A \tan B$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\cot A}+\frac{1}{\cot B}=1-\frac{1}{\cot A \cot B }$
$\Rightarrow \cot A +\cot B =\cot A \cot B -1$
$\Rightarrow \cot A \cot B -\cot A -\cot B =1$
$\Rightarrow \cot A \cot B -\cot A -\cot B +1=2$
$\Rightarrow(\cot A -1)(\cot B -1)=2$
