Solution

`20/21`

Explanation:

cosecθ + cotθ = `5/2`                        ....(i)

cosec2θ - cot2θ = 1

∴ (cosecθ + cotθ) (cosecθ − cotθ) = 1

∴ `5/2` (cosecθ − cotθ) = 1

∴ cosecθ − cotθ = `2/5`                     ...(ii)

Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get

2cotθ = `5/2-2/5=21/10`

∴ cotθ = `21/20`

∴ tanθ = `20/21`
