SSC CHSL 2023 PYQ — Question 62

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 4.19.

Given that

If cos $A=\frac{63}{65}$,

the value of tan A + cot A

 cos $A=\frac{63}{65}$ = B/H

By Pythagoras theorem

⇒ B² + P² = H²

⇒ P² = 65² - 63² = 256

⇒ P = 16

Hence, tan A + cot A = P/B + B/P = 16/63 + 63/16 = 4.19
