Choose the correct value of $\dfrac{1+\tan^2 A}{1+\cot^2 A}$.

A$\sec^2 A$
B$-1$
C$\cot^2 A$
D$\tan^2 A$
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. $\tan^2 A$
Using identities, $1+\tan^2 A=\sec^2 A$ and $1+\cot^2 A=\cosec^2 A$. So $$\frac{1+\tan^2 A}{1+\cot^2 A}=\frac{\sec^2 A}{\cosec^2 A}=\frac{1/\cos^2 A}{1/\sin^2 A}=\frac{\sin^2 A}{\cos^2 A}=\tan^2 A.$$ Thus option D is correct.
