by conditions of GM

cos2A=sinAtanA

\frac{sin^2A}{cos^3A}=1    ......(i)

\frac{1}{cosA}(\frac{1}{cos^2A}-1)=1

\frac{cos^2A}{cos^3A}(\frac{cos^4A}{cos^6A}-1)=1

\frac{cos^2A}{sin^2A}(\frac{cos^4A}{sin^4A}-1)=1         ......(from (i))

cot^2A(cot^4A-1)=1

(cot^6A-cot^2A)=1
all's well that end's well, but if it dosen't, then it is not the end . . .
