    \[\mathbf{cot}\left( \frac{\pi }{4}-\mathbf{2}.c\mathbf{o}{{\mathbf{t}}^{-\mathbf{1}}}\mathbf{3} \right)=\]

    A) 5                                 

    B) 6             

    C) 7  

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\cot \left( \frac{\pi }{4}-2.{{\cot }^{-1}}3 \right)\] \[=\cot \left( \frac{\pi }{4}-2{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{3} \right) \right)=\cot \left( \frac{\pi }{4}-{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{2/3}{1-1/9} \right) \right)\]\[=\cot \left( \frac{\pi }{4}-{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{2/3}{8/9} \right) \right)=\cot \left( \frac{\pi }{4}-{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{2/3}{8/9} \right) \right)\]\[=\cot \left( {{\tan }^{-1}}1-{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{3}{4} \right) \right)=\cot \left( {{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1-3/4}{1+3/4} \right) \right)\]\[=\cot \left( {{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1/4}{7/4} \right) \right)=\cot \left( {{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{7} \right) \right)\] \[=\cot \left( {{\cot }^{-1}}(7) \right)=7\] Hence, option is correct.
