    If \[A+B=225{}^\circ ,\]then\[\frac{\cot A}{1+\cot A}.\frac{\cot B}{1+\cot B}=\] [MNR 1974]

    A) 1

    B) - 1

    C) 0

    D) 1/2

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\frac{\cot A}{1+\cot A}\,.\,\frac{\cot B}{1+\cot B}=\frac{1}{(1+\tan A)\,(1+\tan B)}\] \[=\frac{1}{\tan A+\tan B+1+\tan A\tan B}\]   \[[\because \,\tan (A+B)=\tan {{225}^{o}}]\] \[\Rightarrow \,\tan \,A+\tan \,B=1-\tan \,A\,\tan B]\] \[=\frac{1}{1-\tan A\,\tan B+1+\tan A\tan B}=\frac{1}{2}\].
