    If \[\sqrt{3}{{\cot }^{2}}\theta -4\,\cot \theta +\sqrt{3}=0\], then the value of  \[{{\tan }^{2}}\theta +{{\cot }^{2}}\theta \] is

    A) \[\frac{3}{10}\]

    B) \[\frac{-10}{3}\]

    C) \[\frac{10}{3}\]

    D) \[\frac{-20}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let \[\cot \theta =x\]
    and \[\sqrt{3}{{x}^{2}}-4x+\sqrt{3}=0\]
    Here, \[a=\sqrt{3}\], \[b=-4\] and \[c=\sqrt{3}\]
    \[X=\frac{-b\,\underline{+}\,\sqrt{D}}{2a}\]
    [using quadratic formula]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,x=\frac{-\left( -4 \right)\underline{+}\,\sqrt{16-4.\sqrt{3}.\sqrt{3}}}{2\times \sqrt{3}}=\frac{4\underline{+}\sqrt{4}}{2\sqrt{3}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,x=\frac{4+2}{2\sqrt{3}},\,\frac{4-2}{2\sqrt{3}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\cot \,\theta =\frac{6}{2\sqrt{3}},\,\frac{2}{2\sqrt{3}}\Leftrightarrow \cot \theta =\sqrt{3},\,\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\tan \theta =\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}},\,\sqrt{3}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,{{\cot }^{2}}\theta +{{\tan }^{2}}\theta ={{\left( \sqrt{3} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right)}^{2}}\]
    \[=3+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{10}{3}\]
