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.
