SSC CPO 2022 PYQ — Question 144

SSC CPO - 10 Nov 2022 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q144

What is the value of the following in items of trigonoetric ratios?

sinA1+cosA\frac{sinA}{1+cosA}+1+cosAsinA\frac{1+cosA}{sinA}

 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 2cosec A

Given that

 sinA1+cosA\frac{sinA}{1+cosA}+1+cosAsinA\frac{1+cosA}{sinA}

= (sin2A + 1 + cos2A + 2 cosA)/[sinA (1 + cosA)]

= (2 + 2 cosA)/[sinA * (1 + cosA)]

= 2/sinA = 2 cosecA
