    Question

    If secθ - cosecθ = 0, then the value of 2sin2θ3cos2θ2 \sin 2\theta ⁡-3 cos⁡2θ ​ is: 

    A.

    1/2

    B.

    2

    C.

    1

    D.

    –1

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    secθcosecθ=0\sec \theta - \cosec \theta = 0​​
    Formula Used:
    secθ=1cosθ,cosecθ=1sinθsin2θ=2sinθcosθcos2θ=cos2θsin2θ\begin{aligned}&\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta}, \quad \cosec \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} \\&sin 2\theta = 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta \\&\cos 2\theta = \cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta \end{aligned}​​
    Solution:
    From the given equation:
    secθcscθ=0\sec \theta - \csc \theta = 0​​
    1cosθ=1sinθ\frac{1}{\cos \theta} = \frac{1}{\sin \theta}​​
    Hence:
    cosθ=sinθ\cos \theta = \sin \theta​​
    Therefore, θ=450 \theta = 45^0​​
    since cos45=sin45\cos 45^\circ = \sin 45^\circ​​
    Now, we calculate
    sin2θ3cos2θ\sin 2\theta - 3 \cos 2\theta​​
    when  θ=45\theta = 45^\circ​​
    Calculating for 2θ: 2\theta:​​
    2θ=902\theta = 90^\circ​​
    Now, substitute into the trigonometric functions:
    sin2θ=sin90=1,cos2θ=cos90=0\sin 2\theta = \sin 90^\circ = 1, \quad \cos 2\theta = \cos 90^\circ = 0​​
    Using these values in the expression:
    2sin2θ3cos2θ=2(1)3(0)=22 \sin 2\theta - 3 \cos 2\theta = 2(1) - 3(0) = 2​​
    Thus, the value of 2sin2θ3cos2θ2 \sin 2\theta - 3 \cos 2\theta​ is 2.
