Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\cot \alpha\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { As, } \tan \theta-\cot \theta=\frac{\sin ^2 \theta-\cos ^2 \theta}{\sin \theta \cos \theta}=-2 \cot 2 \theta \\ & \text { Now, } \tan \alpha+2 \tan 2 \alpha+4 \tan 4 \alpha+8 \cot 8 \alpha \\ & =\tan \alpha-\cot \alpha+2 \tan 2 \alpha+4 \tan 4 \alpha+8…
