    Question

    If (sinβ+cosecβ)2+(secβcosβ)2=a+tan2β+cot2β,(sin⁡β+cosec⁡β)^2+(sec⁡β-cos⁡β)^2=a+tan^2⁡β+cot^2⁡β,​ then the value of a is:

    A.

    3

    B.

    0

    C.

    2

    D.

    5

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    (sinβ+cosecβ)2+(secβcosβ)2=a+tan2β+cot2β(\sin \beta + \cosec \beta)^2 + (\sec \beta - \cos \beta)^2 = a + \tan^2 \beta + \cot^2 \beta 

    Value of a = ?

    Concept Used:

    sinβcosecβ=1sinβ⋅cosecβ=1 

    secβcosβ=1secβ⋅cosβ=1

    sin2β+cos2β=1\sin^2 \beta + \cos^2 \beta = 1 

    cosec2β=1+cot2β\cosec^2 \beta = 1 + \cot^2 \beta 

    ​​sec2β=1+tan2β\sec^2 \beta = 1 + \tan^2 \beta​​

    Solution: 

    (sinβ+cosecβ)2+(secβcosβ)2=a+tan2β+cot2β(\sin \beta + \cosec \beta)^2 + (\sec \beta - \cos \beta)^2 = a + \tan^2 \beta + \cot^2 \beta 

    By expanding LHS

    sin2β+2sinβcosecβ+cosec2β+sec2β2secβcosβ+cos2β=a+tan2β+cot2β\sin^2 \beta + 2 \sin \beta \cosec \beta + \cosec^2 \beta + \sec^2 \beta - 2 \sec \beta \cos \beta + \cos^2 \beta = a + \tan^2 \beta + \cot^2 \beta 

    sin2β+cos2β+2sinβcosecβ2secβcosβ+cosec2β+sec2β=a+tan2β+cot2β\sin^2 \beta + \cos^2 \beta + 2\sin\beta\cdot\cosec\beta -2\sec\beta\cdot\cos\beta + \cosec^2 \beta + \sec^2 \beta = a + \tan^2 \beta + \cot^2 \beta 

    1+22+cosec2β+sec2β=a+tan2β+cot2β1+2-2 + \cosec^2 \beta + \sec^2 \beta = a + \tan^2 \beta + \cot^2 \beta 

    1+cosec2β+sec2β=a+tan2β+cot2β1+ \cosec^2 \beta + \sec^2 \beta = a + \tan^2 \beta + \cot^2 \beta 

    Using identity of cosec2βandsec2β\cosec^2\beta\quad\text{and}\quad\sec^2\beta 

    1+1+cot2β+1+tan2β=a+tan2β+cot2β1+ 1+ \cot^2 \beta + 1+ \tan^2 \beta = a + \tan^2 \beta + \cot^2 \beta​​

    3+cot2β+tan2β=a+tan2β+cot2β3+\cot^2 \beta+\tan^2 \beta = a + \tan^2 \beta + \cot^2 \beta 

    By compering both sides; 

    a = 3 

    Thus, the value of aaa is 3.​
