SSC CGL - 4th June 2019 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q63

  is equal to:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Correct answer is option 1 i.e. Secθ Cosecθ

Concept

Understanding

Application

tanθ = sinθ/cosθ

cotθ = cosθ/sinθ

Sin 2θ + Cos2θ = 1

Tan2θ + Cot2θ + 2 = [tanθ + Cotθ]2

(2 + tan2θ + Cot2θ]/[Secθ Cosecθ]

⇒ [tanθ + Cotθ]2/[Secθ Cosecθ]

⇒ [sinθ/cosθ + cosθ/sinθ]2/[Secθ Cosecθ]

⇒ [(Sin2θ + Cos2θ)/Sinθ Cosθ]2/[Secθ Cosecθ]

⇒ [1/Sinθ Cosθ]2/[Secθ Cosecθ]

⇒ [Sec2θ Cosec2θ]/[Secθ Cosecθ]

⇒ Secθ Cosecθ
