Question : If $2\left (\cos^{2}\theta-\sin ^{2}\theta \right)=1$; ($\theta$ is a positive acute angle), then $\cot\theta$ is equal to:

Option 1: $-\sqrt3$

Option 2: $1\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$

Option 3: $1$

Option 4: $\sqrt3$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt3$


Solution : Given: $2\left (\cos^{2}\theta-\sin ^{2}\theta \right)=1$
⇒ $2\cos^{2}\theta-2\sin ^{2}\theta=\cos^{2}\theta+\sin ^{2}\theta$
⇒ $\cos^2\theta = 3\sin^2\theta$
⇒ $\frac{\cos^2\theta}{\sin^2\theta} = 3$
⇒ $\cot^2\theta=3$
⇒ $\cot\theta = \pm\sqrt3$
As $\theta$ is a positive acute angle,
So, $\cot\theta = \sqrt3$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt3$.
