Correct answer

C. 8

Step-by-step solution

2cot⁡−13=2tan⁡−113=tan⁡−1231−19=tan⁡−1(23×98)=tan⁡−134\begin{aligned} 2 \cot ^{-1} 3 & =2 \tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{3}=\tan ^{-1} \frac{\frac{2}{3}}{1-\frac{1}{9}} \\ & =\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{9}{8}\right)=\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4}\end{aligned} So, 15+cot⁡2(π4−2cot⁡−13)=15+cot⁡2(tan⁡−11−tan⁡−134)=15+cot⁡2(tan⁡−1(1−34)1+34)]=15+cot⁡2(tan⁡−117)=15+72=15+cot⁡2(cot⁡−17)=15+49=8\begin{aligned} \sqrt{15+\cot ^2\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right.}- & \left.2 \cot ^{-1} 3\right) \\ & =\sqrt{15+\cot ^2\left(\tan ^{-1} 1-\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4}\right)} \\ & =\sqrt{15+\cot ^2\left(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\left.1-\frac{3}{4}\right)}{1+\frac{3}{4}}\right)\right]} \\ & =\sqrt{15+\cot ^2\left(\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{7}\right)} \\ & =\sqrt{15+7^2} \\ & =\sqrt{15+\cot ^2\left(\cot ^{-1} 7\right)} \\ & =\sqrt{15+49}=8 \end{aligned}
