Q3(iv):
Choose the correct option. Justify your choice. (iv) $\frac{1 + \tan^2 A}{1 + \cot^2 A} =$
Choose the correct option. Justify your choice. (iv) $\frac{1 + \tan^2 A}{1 + \cot^2 A} =$
Solution :
Given: The trigonometric expression $\frac{1 + \tan^2 A}{1 + \cot^2 A}$.
To Find: The simplified value of the given expression by choosing the correct option among the standard trigonometric identities.
Step 1: Recall Fundamental Trigonometric Identities
To simplify the expression, we utilize the following Pythagorean identities:
1. $1 + \tan^2 A = \sec^2 A$ [Since $\sec^2 A - \tan^2 A = 1$]
2. $1 + \cot^2 A = \csc^2 A$ [Since $\csc^2 A - \cot^2 A = 1$]
Step 2: Substitute Identities into the Expression
Substitute the identities identified in Step 1 into the given expression:
$\frac{1 + \tan^2 A}{1 + \cot^2 A} = \frac{\sec^2 A}{\csc^2 A}$
Step 3: Express in terms of Sine and Cosine
Recall the reciprocal relations for trigonometric functions:
$\sec A = \frac{1}{\cos A} \implies \sec^2 A = \frac{1}{\cos^2 A}$
$\csc A = \frac{1}{\sin A} \implies \csc^2 A = \frac{1}{\sin^2 A}$
Substituting these into the expression from Step 2:
$\frac{\sec^2 A}{\csc^2 A} = \frac{\frac{1}{\cos^2 A}}{\frac{1}{\sin^2 A}}$
Step 4: Perform Algebraic Simplification
When dividing fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal of the denominator:
$\frac{1}{\cos^2 A} \times \frac{\sin^2 A}{1} = \frac{\sin^2 A}{\cos^2 A}$
Step 5: Apply the Quotient Identity
Recall the quotient identity for tangent:
$\tan A = \frac{\sin A}{\cos A} \implies \tan^2 A = \frac{\sin^2 A}{\cos^2 A}$
Therefore:
$\frac{\sin^2 A}{\cos^2 A} = \tan^2 A$
Conclusion:
The expression $\frac{1 + \tan^2 A}{1 + \cot^2 A}$ simplifies to $\tan^2 A$.
Final Answer: \tan^2 A

I specialize in teaching Mathematics, Science, and Social Science for Class 10 students, with a structured and results-driven approach tailored to board exam preparation. For each chapter, I provide well-organized, easy-to-understand notes that students can rely on for quick revision. Topic-wise worksheets are an integral part of my sessions, allowing students to practice consistently and identify areas that need more focus. Visual learning aids — including diagrams, flowcharts, and video explanations — help make abstract concepts in Science and Mathematics far more intuitive. Over the past 8 years, I have seen remarkable improvements in my students. Many who struggled with basics at the start have gone on to score 90+ percentages in their board exams. My teaching methodology focuses not just on covering the syllabus, but on building conceptual clarity, improving problem-solving speed, and developing answer-writing skills that are essential for scoring well. Regular assessments and parent feedback sessions ensure that progress is tracked every step of the way.
Vijay Sir's teaching style is effective and enjoyable. He uses real-world examples that make Grade 10 Maths and Science extremely relatable. I always look forward to his class.

I am a teacher of Mathematics and Physics. I have been teaching since my college days. After completing my college I ran a coaching institute in my home town Nainital. During that time I got selected in Income Tax department through Staff Selection Commission. As teaching has always been my passion so I continued teaching students online. Currently, I give tuitions to CBSE/ICSE students of Class IX & X on one-on-one and batch bases. I prepare students for competitive Exams like SSC CGL, Banks, Railways etc. Since Mathematics and Science of IX & X standard play a significant role in cracking competitive exams. Every student no matter from what stream has to face that competition in future. Therefore, I prepare and polish student in a way which help them a lot in a future of competitive environment. Apart from this I also take classes for Vedic Maths and Fast calculating tricks.
