SSC Selection Post - Higher Secondary Level - 14 March 2022 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q67

If 11+tanθ+11−tanθ{1 \over 1+ tan\theta} + {1 \over 1- tan\theta} = 4, 0° < θ < 90°, then what is the value of cosec θ + sec θ + sin θ? 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 3+426{3+4 \sqrt{2}\over \sqrt{6}}.

11+tanθ+11−tanθ{1 \over 1+ tan\theta} + {1 \over 1- tan\theta} = 4

⇒ 1−tanθ+1+tanθ1−tan2θ{1- tan\theta+1+ tan\theta \over 1- tan^2\theta}  = 4

⇒ 21−tan2θ{2\over 1- tan^2\theta}  = 4

⇒ 1 - tan2θ = 121\over2

⇒ tan2θ = 121\over2

⇒ tanθ = 121\over\sqrt2 = PBP\over B

⇒ H2 = 12 + (2)2(\sqrt2)^2

⇒ H = 3\sqrt3

⇒ cosec θ + sec θ + sin θ

⇒ 3\sqrt3 + 32\sqrt3\over\sqrt2 + 131\over\sqrt3 = 3+426{3+4 \sqrt{2}\over \sqrt{6}}
