1+cosθ−sin2θsinθ(1+cosθ)\frac{1+cosθ-sin^2θ}{sinθ(1+cosθ)}×sec2θ+cosec2θtanθ+cotθ\frac{\sqrt {sec^2θ+cosec^2θ}}{tanθ+cotθ} , 0º < θ < 90º, is equal to:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. cot θ

=  1+cosθ−sin2θsinθ(1+cosθ)\frac{1+cosθ-sin^2θ}{sinθ(1+cosθ)}×sec2θ+cosec2θtanθ+cotθ\frac{\sqrt {sec^2θ+cosec^2θ}}{tanθ+cotθ} 

= (1 - sin2θ\theta + cosθ\theta)/(sinθ\theta(1 + cosθ\theta) × (1/sinθ\thetacosθ\theta)/(1/sinθ\thetacosθ\theta)

= cosθ\theta/sinθ\theta × 1

= cotθ\theta.
