SSC CHSL 2024 PYQ — Question 13

SSC CHSL Tier II 2024 Actual Exam - 18/11/2024 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q13

Find the value of 3(sec2A - 1)(cosec A - 1)(cosec A + 1) + 4(cosec2A - cot2A).

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 7.

We know,

sec2A - 1 = tan2A

cosec2A - 1 = cot2A

Now,

⇒ 3(sec2A - 1)(cosec A - 1)(cosec A + 1) + 4(cosec2A - cot2A)

⇒ 3(tan2A)(cosec2A - 1) + 4(1)

⇒ 3 × tan2A × cot2A + 4

⇒ 3 + 4 = 7
