Question : If $\sin^2\theta = \cos^3\theta$, then the value of $(\cot^2\theta -\cot^6\theta)$ is:
Option 1: –1
Option 2: 0
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: –1
Solution : Given: $\sin^2\theta = \cos^3\theta$ Squaring both sides, ⇒ $\sin^4\theta = \cos^6\theta$ -------------(i) Now, $(\cot^2\theta-\cot^6\theta)$ = $\cot^2\theta - \frac{\cos^6 \theta}{\sin^6 \theta}$ = $\cot^2\theta -\frac{\sin^4 \theta}{\sin^6 \theta}$ [From equation (i)] = $\cot^2\theta -\frac{1}{\sin^2 \theta}$ = $\cot^2\theta - \operatorname{cosec}^2\theta$ = $-1$ Hence, the correct answer is –1.
