Question : If $a =\cot A+\cos A$ and $b =\cot A-\cos A$, then find the value of $a^2-b^2-4 \sqrt{ab}$.
Option 1: 0
Option 2: –1
Option 3: 1
Option 4: –4
Correct Answer: 0
Solution : $a =\cot A+\cos A$ $b =\cot A-\cos A$ We have to find the value of $a^2-b^2-4 \sqrt{ab}$. $= (\cot A+\cos A)^{2}-(\cot A-\cos A)^{2}-4\sqrt{(\cot A+\cos A)(\cot A-\cos A)}$ $= \cot^{2} A+\cos^{2} A+2\cot A\times \cos A-(\cot^{2} A+\cos^{2} A-2\cot A\times \cos A)-4\sqrt{\cot^{2}A-\cos^{2}A}$ $= (\cot^{2} A+\cos^{2} A+2\cot A\times \cos
