D$\cot \theta $
d At an instant approach the student will choose $\tan\,\theta$ will be the right answer. But it is to be seen here the curve makes the angle $\theta$ with the $V-$ axis. So it makes an angle $(90 -\theta)$ with the $i-$ axis.
So resistance $=$ slope $= \tan \,(90 -\theta) = \cot\,\theta$.
