Correct answer: A

  1. Interpret the expression

    The given expression is cot⁡(cosec⁡−153+tan⁡−123).\cot\left(\cosec^{-1}\frac{5}{3}+\tan^{-1}\frac{2}{3}\right).cot(cosec−135​+tan−132​).

    Let A=cosec⁡−153,B=tan⁡−123.A=\cosec^{-1}\frac{5}{3}, \qquad B=\tan^{-1}\frac{2}{3}.A=cosec−135​,B=tan−132​.

    We need to find cot⁡(A+B).\cot(A+B).cot(A+B).

  2. Find trigonometric values for AAA

    Since csc⁡A=53,\csc A=\frac{5}{3},cscA=35​, we get sin⁡A=35.\sin A=\frac{3}{5}.sinA=53​.

    Taking AAA in the principal range of cosec⁡−1\cosec^{-1}cosec−1, AAA is acute here, so cos⁡A=45.\cos A=\frac{4}{5}.cosA=54​.

    Therefore, tan⁡A=sin⁡Acos⁡A=3/54/5=34.\tan A=\frac{\sin A}{\cos A}=\frac{3/5}{4/5}=\frac{3}{4}.tanA=cosAsinA​=4/53/5​=43​.

  3. Find trigonometric values for BBB

    Since B=tan⁡−123,B=\tan^{-1}\frac{2}{3},B=tan−132​, we have tan⁡B=23.\tan B=\frac{2}{3}.tanB=32​.

  4. Use the tangent addition formula

    tan⁡(A+B)=tan⁡A+tan⁡B1−tan⁡Atan⁡B.\tan(A+B)=\frac{\tan A+\tan B}{1-\tan A\tan B}.tan(A+B)=1−tanAtanBtanA+tanB​.

    Substituting, tan⁡(A+B)=34+231−34⋅23.\tan(A+B)=\frac{\frac{3}{4}+\frac{2}{3}}{1-\frac{3}{4}\cdot\frac{2}{3}}.tan(A+B)=1−43​⋅32​43​+32​​.

    First compute the numerator: 34+23=9+812=1712.\frac{3}{4}+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{9+8}{12}=\frac{17}{12}.43​+32​=129+8​=1217​.

    Now the denominator: 1−34⋅23=1−12=12.1-\frac{3}{4}\cdot\frac{2}{3}=1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}.1−43​⋅32​=1−21​=21​.

    Hence, tan⁡(A+B)=17/121/2=1712⋅2=176.\tan(A+B)=\frac{17/12}{1/2}=\frac{17}{12}\cdot 2=\frac{17}{6}.tan(A+B)=1/217/12​=1217​⋅2=617​.

  5. Find the cotangent

    cot⁡(A+B)=1tan⁡(A+B)=117/6=617.\cot(A+B)=\frac{1}{\tan(A+B)}=\frac{1}{17/6}=\frac{6}{17}.cot(A+B)=tan(A+B)1​=17/61​=176​.

  6. Check options

    617\frac{6}{17}176​ matches Option A.


Final Answer: 617\boxed{\frac{6}{17}}176​​
