SSC CPO 2023 PYQ — Question 144

SSC CPO - 3 Oct 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q144

If θ is an acute angle and sin θ + cosec θ = 2, then the value of sin5θ + cosec5θ is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 2​​​​​​.

sin θ + cosec θ = 2

⇒ sinθ + 1/sinθ = 2

If we consider sinθ = 1 then

⇒ 1 + 1/1 = 2

The value of sin5θ + cosec5θ

On putting sinθ = 1 

⇒ sin5θ + 1/sin5θ = 1 + 1/1 = 1 + 1 = 2

Hence,

⇒ sin5θ + cosec5θ = 2
