    Question

    If cot α =PQ\frac PQ​, then find the value of PcosαQsinαPcosα+QsinαP2Q2P2+Q2+3\frac{P \cos \alpha - Q \sin \alpha}{P \cos \alpha + Q \sin \alpha} - \frac{P^2 - Q^2}{P^2 + Q^2} + 3​​

    A.

    P2P2+Q2\frac{P^2}{P^2 + Q^2}​​

    B.

    PQ\frac PQ​​

    C.

    0

    D.

    3

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    cot α = PQ\frac PQ
    Formula Used:
    cotθ=cosθsinθ\cot \theta = \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}​​
    Solution:
    PcosαQsinαPcosα+QsinαP2Q2P2+Q2+3(Taking sinα common in both numerator and denominator)sinα(PcotαQ)sinα(Pcotα+Q)P2Q2P2+Q2+3(Putting value of cotα=PQ)fracsinα(PPQQ)sinα(PPQ+Q)P2Q2P2+Q2+3P2Q2QP2+Q2QP2Q2P2+Q2+3P2Q2P2+Q2P2Q2P2+Q2+3=3\frac{P \cos \alpha - Q \sin \alpha}{P \cos \alpha + Q \sin \alpha} - \frac{P^2 - Q^2}{P^2 + Q^2} + 3\\\text{(Taking } \sin \alpha \text{ common in both numerator and denominator)}\\\frac{\sin \alpha (P \cot \alpha - Q)}{\sin \alpha (P \cot \alpha + Q)} - \frac{P^2 - Q^2}{P^2 + Q^2} + 3\\\text{(Putting value of } \cot \alpha = \frac{P}{Q})\\\\frac{\sin \alpha (P \frac{P}{Q} - Q)}{\sin \alpha (P \frac{P}{Q} + Q)} - \frac{P^2 - Q^2}{P^2 + Q^2} + 3\\\frac{\frac{P^2 - Q^2}{Q}}{\frac{P^2 + Q^2}{Q}} - \frac{P^2 - Q^2}{P^2 + Q^2} + 3\\\frac{P^2 - Q^2}{P^2 + Q^2} - \frac{P^2 - Q^2}{P^2 + Q^2} + 3\\= 3\\​​
