Correct Answer: $\sqrt3$
Solution : Given: $2\left (\cos^{2}\theta-\sin ^{2}\theta \right)=1$ ⇒ $2\cos^{2}\theta-2\sin ^{2}\theta=\cos^{2}\theta+\sin ^{2}\theta$ ⇒ $\cos^2\theta = 3\sin^2\theta$ ⇒ $\frac{\cos^2\theta}{\sin^2\theta} = 3$ ⇒ $\cot^2\theta=3$ ⇒ $\cot\theta = \pm\sqrt3$ As $\theta$ is a positive acute angle, So, $\cot\theta = \sqrt3$ Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt3$.
