SSC CGL - 6th June 2019 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q59

The value of √(sec2θ + cosec2θ) ×  √(tan2θ - sin2θ) is equal to:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Correct Answer is option 2 i.e. Sinθ Sec2θ

Understanding

Application

Put θ = 45° and check with the options.

 √(sec2θ + cosec2θ) × √(tan2θ - sin2θ)

θ = 45°

⇒ √(sec245° + cosec245°) × √(tan245° - sin245°)

⇒√(2 + 2) × √(1 - 1/2)

⇒ 2/√2

⇒ √2

Checking the options by putting θ = 45:

Option 2:

Sin45° Sec245° = 1/√2 × 2 = √2

Hence, Option 2 is correct.
