    If \[\tan \alpha =\sqrt{3}\] and \[\tan \beta =\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}},\] \[0<\alpha ,\] \[\beta <90{}^\circ ,\]then the value of \[\cot (\alpha +\beta )\] is:

    A) \[\sqrt{3}\]

    B) \[0\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\]

    D) \[1\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] We have,  \[\tan \alpha =\sqrt{3}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\alpha =60{}^\circ \] \[[\tan 60{}^\circ =\sqrt{3}]\]
    Again,  \[\tan \beta =\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\,\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\beta =30{}^\circ \]\[\left[ \tan 30{}^\circ =\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right]\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\alpha +\beta =60{}^\circ +30{}^\circ =60{}^\circ \]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\cot (\alpha +\beta )=cot90{}^\circ =0\]
