Solution
Given:
\[\cos A = m\cos B\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{\cos A}{\cos B} = \frac{m}{1}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{\cos A + \cos B}{\cos A - \cos B} = \frac{m + 1}{m - 1}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{2\cos\left( \frac{A + B}{2} \right)\cos\left( \frac{A - B}{2} \right)}{- 2\sin\left( \frac{A + B}{2} \right)\sin\left( \frac{A - B}{2} \right)} = \frac{m + 1}{m - 1} \left[ \because \cos A + \cos B = 2\cos\left( \frac{A - B}{2} \right)\cos\left( \frac{A + B}{2} \right)\text{ and }\cos A - \cos B = - 2\sin\left( \frac{A + B}{2} \right)\cos\left( \frac{A - B}{2} \right) \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{\cos\left( \frac{A - B}{2} \right)\cos\left( \frac{A + B}{2} \right)}{- \sin\left( \frac{A + B}{2} \right)\sin\left( \frac{A - B}{2} \right)} = \frac{m + 1}{m - 1} \]
\[ \Rightarrow -\cot\left( \frac{A + B}{2} \right)\cot\left( \frac{A - B}{2} \right)=\frac{m + 1}{m - 1}\]
