(tan3θsec2θ+cot3θcosec2θ+2sin θ cos θ)(\frac{tan^3 \theta}{sec^2 \theta}+\frac{cot^3 \theta}{cosec^2 \theta}+2sin \ \theta \ cos \ \theta)÷ (1 + cosec2 θ + tan2 θ), 0º < θ < 90º, is equal to:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. sinθ cosθ

= (tan3θsec2θ+cot3θcosec2θ+2sin θ cos θ)(\frac{tan^3 \theta}{sec^2 \theta}+\frac{cot^3 \theta}{cosec^2 \theta}+2sin \ \theta \ cos \ \theta)÷ (1 + cosec2 θ + tan2 θ)

= sin3θcos3θ1cos2θ\frac{\frac{sin^3 \theta}{cos^3 \theta}}{\frac{1}{cos^2 \theta}} + cos3θsin3θ1sin2θ\frac{\frac{cos^3 \theta}{sin^3 \theta}}{\frac{1}{sin^2 \theta}} + 2sinθcosθ ÷ (cosec2 θ + sec2 θ)

= (sin2θ)2+(cos2θ)2+2sin2θcos2θsinθcosθ\frac{ (sin^2 \theta)^2 + (cos^2 \theta)^2+ 2sin^2 \theta cos^2 \theta}{sin \theta cos \theta} ÷ (sin2 θ + cos2 θ)/(sin2θ cos2θ)

= sinθ cosθ.
