Question : If $\tan \theta-\cot \theta=4$, then find the value of $\tan ^2 \theta+\cot ^2 \theta$.

Option 1: 16

Option 2: 20

Option 3: 14

Option 4: 18

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 18


Solution : $\tan \theta-\cot \theta=4$
Squaring both sides,
⇒ $\tan^2\theta + \cot^2\theta - 2\tan\theta \cot\theta = 16$
⇒ $\tan^2\theta + \cot^2\theta = 16+2$
$\therefore \tan^2\theta + \cot^2\theta = 18$
Hence, the correct answer is 18.
