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
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.

Question : What is the value of $\frac{7 \times 4 \div 8}{5 \times 25 \div 125}+\frac{5 \times 4 \div 8}{8 \times 4 \div 16}-\frac{7 \times 4 \div 2}{8 \times 7 \div 4}$?
Option 1: $4$
Option 2: $\frac{13}{4}$
Option 3: $\frac{15}{4}$
Option 4: $\frac{9}{2}$
