Question

If cosec A = 54\frac 54​, then the value of sin2A + 2cos2A is:

A.

7/5

B.

2/5

C.

9/5

D.

4/5

Correct option is B

Given
cosec A = 54\frac{5}{4}​​

Formula Used
sinA=1cosecA sin2A=2sinAcosAcos2A=cos2Asin2Asin A = \frac{1}{cosec A} \\\ \\sin 2A = 2sin A cos A\\cos 2A = cos^2 A - sin^2 A\\​​
Solution
Since cosec A = \frac{5}{4}, we have sin A = \frac{4}{5}.
Using Pythagoras theorem, cos A = \frac{3}{5}.
Calculate sin 2A = 2×45×35=24252 × \frac{4}{5} × \frac{3}{5} = \frac{24}{25}​​
Calculate cos 2A = (35)2(45)2=9251625=725 (\frac{3}{5})^2 - (\frac{4}{5})^2 = \frac{9}{25} - \frac{16}{25} = -\frac{7}{25}​​
Now, find sin 2A + 2cos 2A:
=2425+2(725) =24251425 =1025=25 = \frac{24}{25} + 2(-\frac{7}{25}) \\\ \\= \frac{24}{25} - \frac{14}{25}\\\ \\= \frac{10}{25} = \frac{2}{5}\\\ \\

=2425+2(725) =24251425 =1025=25= \frac{24}{25} + 2(-\frac{7}{25}) \\\ \\= \frac{24}{25} - \frac{14}{25}\\\ \\= \frac{10}{25} = \frac{2}{5}
