SSC CGL 2024 PYQ — Question 69

SSC CGL - 23 Sep 2024 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q69

The value of 1cosecθ−cotθ−1sinθ\frac{1}{cosecθ - cotθ} - \frac{1}{sinθ}  is equal to :

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. cotθ.

cosec2A - cot2A = 1

According to the given question,

1cosecθ−cotθ−1sinθ\frac{1}{cosecθ - cotθ} - \frac{1}{sinθ}

⇒ (1cosecθ−cotθ×cosecθ+cot⁡θcosecθ+cotθ)−1sinθ(\frac{1}{cosecθ - cotθ} \times \frac{cosec \theta + \cot\theta}{cosec \theta + cot\theta}) - \frac{1}{sinθ}

⇒ (cosecθ+cot⁡θcosec2θ+cot2θ)−1sinθ(\frac{cosec \theta + \cot\theta}{cosec^2 \theta + cot^2\theta}) - \frac{1}{sinθ}

⇒ cosecθ + cotθ - cosecθ

⇒ cotθ
