Correct Answer: $-\sqrt{3}$


Solution : Given: $\tan \theta \cdot \tan 2 \theta=1$
$⇒\tan2\theta=\cot\theta$
$⇒\tan2\theta=\tan(90°- \theta)$
$⇒2\theta=90°- \theta$
$⇒3\theta=90°$
$\therefore \theta=30°$
$\cot 5\theta=\cot(5×30°)=\cot 150°=\cot(90°+60°)=-\tan60°=-\sqrt3$
Hence, the correct answer is $-\sqrt3$.
