Correct Answer: $\frac{240}{161}$


Solution : $\cot A = \frac{15}{8}$
So, $\tan A = \frac{8}{15}$
Now, $\tan 2A = \frac{2 \ tan A}{1-\tan^2A}$
= $\frac{2 \times \frac{8}{15}}{1-(\frac{8}{15})^2}$
= $\frac{\frac{16}{15}}{\frac{161}{225}}$
= $\frac{16 \times 225}{15 \times 161}$
= $\frac{240}{161}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{240}{161}$.
