MCQ
The general solution of $\cot \theta+\tan \theta=2$ is
  • $\theta=\frac{ n \pi}{2}+(-1)^{ n } \frac{\pi}{4}$
  • B
    $\theta= n \pi+(-1)^{ n } \frac{\pi}{8}$
  • C
    $\theta=\frac{ n \pi}{2}+(-1)^{ n } \frac{\pi}{8}$
  • D
    $\theta=\frac{ n \pi}{2}+(-1)^{ n } \frac{\pi}{6}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\theta=\frac{ n \pi}{2}+(-1)^{ n } \frac{\pi}{4}$
(A) $\cot \theta+\tan \theta=2$
$\begin{array}{l}\therefore \quad \frac{1}{\tan \theta}+\tan \theta=2 \Rightarrow 1+\tan ^2 \theta=2 \tan \theta \\ \therefore \quad \frac{2 \tan \theta}{1+\tan ^2 \theta}=1 \Rightarrow \sin 2 \theta=1\end{array}$
$\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow 2 \theta= n \pi+(-1)^{ n } \frac{\pi}{2} \\ \Rightarrow \theta=\frac{ n \pi}{2}+(-1)^{ n } \frac{\pi}{4}\end{array}$
