Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{4}$


Solution : We have,
$\cos \theta = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
⇒ $\cos \theta = \cos 30^\circ$
⇒ $\theta = 30^\circ$
Now,
$\tan^2 \theta \cos^2 \theta=\tan^2 30^\circ \cos^2 30^\circ=
(\frac{1}{\sqrt3})^2 ×(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})^2$
$= \frac{1}{4}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{4}$.
