MCQ
The value of $\cot {70^o} + 4\cos {70^o}$ is
  • A
    $\frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}$
  • $\sqrt 3 $
  • C
    $2\sqrt 3 $
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\sqrt 3 $
b
(b) Now, $\cot {70^o} + 4\cos {70^o} = \frac{{\cos {{70}^o} + 4\sin {{70}^o}\cos {{70}^o}}}{{\sin {{70}^o}}}$

$ = \frac{{\cos {{70}^o} + 2\sin {{140}^o}}}{{\sin {{70}^o}}} $

$= \frac{{\cos {{70}^o} + 2\sin ({{180}^o} - {{40}^o})}}{{\sin {{70}^o}}}$

$ = \frac{{\sin {{20}^o} + \sin {{40}^o} + \sin {{40}^o}}}{{\sin {{70}^o}}} $

$= \frac{{2\sin {{30}^o}\cos {{10}^o} + \sin {{40}^o}}}{{\sin {{70}^o}}}$

$ = \frac{{\sin {{80}^o} + \sin {{40}^o}}}{{\sin {{70}^o}}} $

$= \frac{{2\sin {{60}^o}\cos {{20}^o}}}{{\sin {{70}^o}}} = \sqrt 3 $.
