Answer
Correct option: D.
23.
$(\tan\theta+\cot\theta)=5$
$\Rightarrow(\tan\theta+\cot\theta)^2=5^2$
$\Rightarrow\tan^2\theta+\cot^2\theta+2\tan\theta\cot\theta=25$
$\Rightarrow\tan^2\theta+\cot^2\theta+2(1)=25$
$\Rightarrow\tan^2\theta+\cot^2\theta=23$
$\Rightarrow(\tan\theta+\cot\theta)^2=5^2$
$\Rightarrow\tan^2\theta+\cot^2\theta+2\tan\theta\cot\theta=25$
$\Rightarrow\tan^2\theta+\cot^2\theta+2(1)=25$
$\Rightarrow\tan^2\theta+\cot^2\theta=23$
