Question : If $\sin7x=\cos11x$, then the value of $\tan9x+\cot9x$ is:

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 3

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2

$⇒\sin7x = \sin (90° - 11x)$
$⇒7x = 90° - 11x$
$⇒18x = 90°$
$⇒x = 5°$
Substituting $x = 5°$ in $\tan9x+\cot9x$,
$\therefore\tan45° + \cot45°=1 + 1= 2$
