Answer

$$0$$

Work Step by Step

Since $-1\leq \cos (\tan \theta)\leq 1$, then we have $$-\cos \theta \leq\cos \theta \cos (\tan \theta)\leq\cos \theta.$$ Moreover, $\lim\limits_{\theta \to \frac{\pi}{2}} \cos\theta=\lim\limits_{\theta \to \frac{\pi}{2}}-\cos\theta=0$. Then by the Squeeze Theorem, we have $$\lim\limits_{\theta \to \frac{\pi}{2}}\cos \theta \cos (\tan \theta)=0.$$
