In a triangle ABC, \( \sin A = \cos B + \cos C \) then what is \( \tan\left(\frac{B}{2}\right) + \cot\left(\frac{B}{2}\right) \) equal to ?

  1. A. 1
  2. B. \sqrt{2}
  3. C. \sqrt{3}
  4. D. 2

Correct Answer: D. 2

Explanation

By solving \sin A = \cos B + \cos C for a triangle, we get B = 90^\circ or C = 90^\circ. Assuming B = 90^\circ, \tan(45^\circ) + \cot(45^\circ) = 1 + 1 = 2.
