Question 13

Mathematics Trigonometric Equations Hard

If \(cosec\theta + \cot \theta=2\), then the value of \(cosec\theta\) is

(A) 5/2
(B) 3/5
(C) 4/5
(D) 5/4
✓ Correct Answer: Option D Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

Since \[ \csc^2 \theta - \cot^2 \theta = 1 \Rightarrow \csc \theta - \cot \theta = \frac{1}{\csc \theta + \cot \theta}, \] Hence, \[ \csc \theta - \cot \theta = \frac{1}{2}. \] As we are given that \[ \csc \theta - \cot \theta = 2, \] Adding the two equations, we have: \[ 2 \csc \theta = 2 + \frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \csc \theta = \frac{5}{4}. \]
