Correct Answer: $\sqrt{2}+1$


Solution : Given: $\sin\theta +\cos\theta=\sqrt{2}\sin(90^{\circ}-\theta)$
$⇒\sin\theta +\cos\theta=\sqrt{2}\cos\theta$
$⇒\sin\theta=(\sqrt{2}-1)\cos\theta$
$⇒\cot\theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}-1}$
By rationalisation, $\cot\theta=\sqrt{2}+1$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt{2}+1$.
