MCQ
The value of $\Big(\cot\frac{\text{x}}{2}-\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)^2(1-2\tan\text{x}\cot2\text{x})$ is:
  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $3$
  • $4$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$4$
We have,
$\big(\cot\frac{\text{x}}{2}-\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)(1-2\tan\text{x}\cot2\text{x})$
$\big(\cot^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}-2\cot\frac{\text{x}}{2}+\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)\Big\{1-2\tan\text{x}\Big(\frac{\cot^2\text{x}-1}{2\cot\text{x}}\Big)\Big\}$
$\big(\cot^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}-2+\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)\Big\{1-\tan\text{x}\Big(\frac{\cot^2\text{x}-1}{\cot\text{x}}\Big)\Big\}$
$\big(\cot^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}+\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}-2\big)\Big(1-\frac{\cot^2\text{x}-\tan\text{x}}{\cot\text{x}}\Big)$
$\big(\cot^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}+\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}-2\big)\big(\tan^2\text{x}\big)$
$\big(\cot^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}+\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}-2\big)\Bigg(\frac{2\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{1-\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}}\Bigg)^2$
$=\frac{1}{\big(1-\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)^2}\big(4+4\tan^4\frac{\text{x}}{2}-8\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)$
$=\frac{1}{\big(1-\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)^2}\big(4-8\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}+4\tan^4\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)$
$=\frac{1}{\big(1-\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)^2}\Big\{\big(\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)^2-2\big(\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}+1\big)\Big\}$
$=\frac{4\big(\tan^2\frac{​​\text{x}}{2}-1\big)^2}{\big(1-\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)^2}$
$=4$
