If sinθ + cosθ = $$\sqrt 2 $$ sin(90° - θ) then the value of cotθ is?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
$$\eqalign{
& \sin \theta + \cos \theta = \sqrt 2 \sin \left( {{{90}^ \circ } - \theta } \right) \cr
& \sin \theta + \cos \theta = \sqrt 2 cos\theta \cr
& {\text{Divide both sides by cos}}\theta \cr
& {\text{tan}}\theta + 1 = \sqrt 2 \cr
& \cot \theta = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 - 1}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \sqrt 2 + 1 \cr} $$
