    If \[\tan \theta +\tan \phi =a\] and \[\cot \theta +\cot \phi =b,\] then \[\cot \,\,(\theta +\phi )\] is equal to      

    A)  \[\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}\]

    B)  \[\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}\]

    C)  \[a-b\]

    D)  \[a+b\] 

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\cot \,\,(\theta +\phi )=\frac{1}{\tan \,\,(\theta +\phi )}=\frac{1-\tan q\tan \phi }{\tan \theta +\tan \phi }\]
    \[=\frac{1}{\tan \theta \tan \phi }-\frac{\tan \theta \tan \phi }{\tan \theta +\tan \phi }\]
    \[=\frac{1}{\tan \theta +\tan \phi }-\frac{1}{\left( \frac{1}{\tan \theta }+\frac{1}{\tan \phi } \right)}\]
    \[=\frac{1}{\tan \theta +\tan \theta }-\frac{1}{(\cot \theta +\cot \phi )}\]\[(\because \tan \theta +\tan \phi =a\,\,\text{or}\,\,\cot \theta +\cot \phi =b)\]
    \[=\frac{1}{a}-\frac{1}{b}\]
