Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(\tan A+\cot A=2\)
\(\begin{aligned}
&(\tan A+\cot A)^{2}=(2)^{2} \\
&\tan ^{2} A+\cot ^{2}+2=4 \\
&\tan ^{2} A+\cot ^{2} A=2 \\
&\left(\tan ^{2} A+\cot ^{2} A\right)^{2}=(2)^{2} \\
&\tan ^{4} A+\cot ^{4} A+2=4 \\
&\tan ^{4} A+\cot ^{4} A=2
\end{aligned}\)
