Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

The triangle XYZ is a right-angled triangle at Y, with opposite side to θ (YZ) = 11 cm and hypotenuse (XZ) = 13 cm.

The length of XY = \(\sqrt{(13^2 - 11^2)}\) = \(\sqrt{(169 - 121)}\) = \(\sqrt{48}\) cm (or 4\(\sqrt{3}\) cm in simplified form).

Cot θ = \(\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{opposite}}\) = \(\frac{\text{XY}}{\text{YZ}}\) = \(\frac{\sqrt{48}}{11}\)
