    Question

    If A is an acute angle of triangle ABC, the cosAsinA+1cosA+sinA1\frac{cos⁡A-sin⁡A+1}{cos⁡A+sin⁡A-1} ​is equal to:

    A.

    cos⁡A+cosec⁡A

    B.

    cot⁡A+cosec⁡A

    C.

    tan⁡A+cos⁡A

    D.

    cot⁡A+sec⁡A

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    A is an acute angle of triangle ABC

    cosAsinA+1cosA+sinA1\frac{\cos A - \sin A + 1}{\cos A + \sin A - 1} 

    Formula Used: 

    cosAsinA=cotA 1+cot2A=cosec2A\frac{\cos A}{\sin A} = \cot A \\ \ \\ 1+\cot^2A = \cosec^2A​​

    Solution:

    Divide numerator and denominator by sin A.

    cosAsinA1+1sinAcosAsinA+11sinA\frac{\frac{\cos A}{\sin A} - 1 + \frac{1}{\sin A}}{\frac{\cos A}{\sin A} + 1 - \frac{1}{\sin A}}​​

    Substitute cosAsinA=cotA  and   1sinA=cosecA\frac{\cos A}{\sin A} = \cot A \ \ \text{and} \ \ \ \frac{1}{\sin A} = \cosec A​ 

    cotA1+cosecAcotA+1cosecA\frac{\cot A - 1 + \cosec A}{\cot A + 1 - \cosec A}    .........(1)

    Using the identity 1=cosec2Acot2A1 = \cosec^2 A - \cot^2 A  in the numerator;

    cotA+cosecA1=(cotA+cosecA)(cosec2Acot2A)\cot A + \cosec A - 1 = (\cot A + \cosec A) - (\cosec^2 A - \cot^2 A)​​

    cotA+cosecA1=(cotA+cosecA)(cosecAcotA)(cosecA+cotA)\cot A + \cosec A - 1 = (\cot A + \cosec A) - (\cosec A - \cot A)(\cosec A + \cot A) = (cotA+cosecA)(1cosecA+cotA)(\cot A + \cosec A) (1 - \cosec A + \cot A)​​

    Putting Simplified numerator in equation (1)  

    =(cotA+cosecA)(1cosecA+cotA)cotA+1cosecA=\frac{(\cot A + \cosec A) (1 - \cosec A + \cot A)}{\cot A + 1 - \cosec A}​​
    cotA+cosecA{\cot A + \cosec A}

    Alternate Method: 

    A is acute, So putting A = 30°30\degree  

    cosAsinA+1cosA+sinA1 =3212+132+121=3+2\frac{\cos A - \sin A + 1}{\cos A + \sin A - 1} \\ \ \\ =\frac{\frac{\sqrt3}{2} - \frac{1}{2} + 1}{\frac{\sqrt3}{2} + \frac{1}{2} - 1} = \sqrt3+2 

    From option(b);

    cotA+cosecA=cot30°+cosec30°=3+2\cot A +\cosec A = \cot 30\degree + \cosec 30\degree = \sqrt3+2​
