Q.\(\theta\) is a positive acute angle, and if \( \tan\theta = \cot\theta \), then what is the value of \(\theta\)? (a) 40° (b) 45° (c) 60° (d) 20°
Answer: B
\[ \tan\theta = \cot\theta \] ⇒ \(\tan\theta = \tan(90^\circ - \theta)\) ⇒ \(\theta = 90^\circ - \theta\) ⇒ \(\theta + \theta = 90^\circ\) ⇒ \(2\theta = 90^\circ\) ⇒ \(\theta = 45^\circ\)
