Question:

What is the value of cot 35° cot 40° cot 45° cot 50° cot 55° ?

Options:

-1

2

1

0

Correct Answer:

1

Explanation:

cot 35° cot 40° cot 45° cot 50° cot 55°

we know,

tanA = cotB   iff A + B = 90°

and tanA c cotB = 1

Now,

cot 35° cot 40° cot 45° cot 50° cot 55°

= tan55° tan50° cot 45° cot 50° cot 55° 

= tan55°× cot55° ×cot 45°× cot 50° tan50° 

= 1 × 1 × 1

= 1
