Question:

Find the value of \(\frac{cos^235°\;+\;cos^255°}{sin^290°}\) - cot245° + tan260°

Options:

2

1

0

3

Correct Answer:

3

Explanation:

Formula → [cos2A + cos2B = 1, when A + B = 90°]

Here, (35° + 55° = 90°), therefore,

⇒ \(\frac{cos^235°\;+\;cos^255°}{sin^290°}\) - cot245° + tan260°

= \(\frac{1}{1}\) - 1 + (\(\sqrt {3}\))2

= 1 - 1 + 3 = 3
