Question : If $A+B=90^{\circ}$, then the expression $\frac{\cot A}{\cot B}+\cos ^2 A+\cos ^2 B$ is equal to:
Option 1: $\cot ^2 B$
Option 2: $\operatorname{cosec}^2 A$
Option 3: $\cot ^2 A$
Option 4: $\operatorname{cosec}^2 B$
Correct Answer: $\operatorname{cosec}^2 A$
Solution : $A+B=90^{\circ}$ $B=90^{\circ}-A$ $\frac{\cot A}{\cot B}+\cos ^2 A+\cos ^2 B$ = $\frac{\cot A}{\cot (90^{\circ}-A)}+\cos ^2 A+\cos ^2 (90^{\circ}-A)$ = $\frac{\cot A}{\tan A}+\cos ^2 A+\sin ^2A$ = $\cot^2 A +1$ = $\operatorname{cosec}^2 A$ Hence,the correct answer is $\operatorname{cosec}^2 A$.
