a = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

cot \: 4a = tan \: (a - 20)....(given) \\  \\  \implies \: tan(90 - 4a) = tan \: (a - 20) \\  [\because \: cot \theta = tan(90 \degree -  \theta) ]\\  \\ \implies (90 - 4a) = tan(a - 20) \\ \\  \implies \: 90  + 20 = 4a + a \\  \\\implies \:  110 = 5a \\  \\ \implies \: a =  \frac{110}{5}  \\  \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{\implies \:  a = 22}}
