    \[\cot x-\tan x=\]       [MP PET 1986]

    A) \[\cot \,2x\]

    B) \[2{{\cot }^{2}}x\]

    C) \[2\,\,\cot \,2x\]

    D) \[{{\cot }^{2}}\,2x\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\cot x-\tan x=\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}-\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}=\frac{{{\cos }^{2}}x-{{\sin }^{2}}x}{\sin x\,\cos x}\] \[=\frac{2\,\cos \,2x}{\sin \,2x}=2\,\,\cot \,\,2x.\]
