SSC CGL Tier II - Quant - 29 Jan 2022 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q19

Let 0º < θ < 90º. (1 + cot2θ) (1+tan2θ) × (sinθ - cosecθ) (cosθ - secθ) is equal to:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. secθ cosecθ

(1 + cot2θ) (1+tan2θ) × (sinθ - cosecθ) (cosθ - secθ) 

we know that, (1 + cot2θ) = cosec2θ and (1+tan2θ) = sec2θ.

cosec2θ × sec2θ × (sinθ - 1/sinθ)(cosθ - 1/cosθ)

(1/sin2θ) × (1/cos2θ) × [(sin2θ - 1)/sinθ] × [(cos2θ - 1)/cosθ]

= Cosecθ Secθ
