    Question

    If x = (sec⁡θ-cos⁡θ)(cot⁡θ+tan⁡θ) and y = sec⁡θ(sec⁡θ+tan⁡θ)(1-sin⁡θ), 0<θ<900^∘<θ<90^∘​, then xy is equal to:

    A.

    tan⁡θsec⁡θ

    B.

    cot⁡θ

    C.

    sin⁡θ

    D.

    cosec⁡θcot⁡θ

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    x = (secθ-cosθ)(cotθ+tanθ)

    y = secθ(secθ+tanθ)(1-sinθ)

    Formula Used:

    secθ=1cosθ\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos\theta}​​

    tanθ=sinθcosθ\tan\theta = \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}​​

    cotθ=cosθsinθ\cot\theta = \frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}​​

    sin2θ+cos2θ=1\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1​​

    Solution:

    xy=(secθcosθ)(cotθ+tanθ)×secθ(secθ+tanθ)(1sinθ)xy=(secθ-cosθ)(cotθ+tanθ) \times secθ(secθ+tanθ)(1-sinθ)​​

    =(1cosθcosθ)(cosθsinθ+sinθcosθ)×1cosθ(1cosθ+sinθcosθ)(1sinθ)= \left(\frac{1}{cos \theta} - \cos \theta\right)\left(\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} + \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}\right) \times \frac{1}{\cos \theta} \left(\frac{1}{\cos \theta} + \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}\right) (1- \sin \theta)​​

    =(1cos2θcosθ)(cos2θ+sin2θsinθcosθ)×1cosθ(1+sinθcosθ)(1sinθ)= \left(\frac{1 - \cos^2 \theta}{cos \theta}\right)\left(\frac{\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta}{\sin \theta \cos \theta}\right) \times \frac{1}{\cos \theta} \left(\frac{1+ \sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \right) (1- \sin \theta)​​

    =(sin2θcosθ)(1sinθcosθ)×(1+sinθcos2θ)(1sinθ)= \left(\frac{\sin^2 \theta}{cos \theta}\right)\left(\frac{1}{\sin \theta \cos \theta}\right) \times \left(\frac{1+ \sin \theta}{\cos^2 \theta} \right) (1- \sin \theta)​​

    =(sinθcos2θ)×(1+sinθ1sin2θ)(1sinθ)= \left(\frac{\sin \theta}{cos^2 \theta}\right) \times \left(\frac{1+ \sin \theta}{1 - \sin^2 \theta} \right) (1- \sin \theta)​​

    =(sinθcos2θ)×1+sinθ(1+sinθ)(1sinθ)(1sinθ)= \left(\frac{\sin \theta}{cos^2 \theta}\right) \times \frac{1+ \sin \theta}{(1+ \sin \theta)(1- \sin \theta)} (1- \sin \theta)​​

    =tanθ1cosθ×1= \tan \theta \frac{1}{\cos \theta} \times 1​​

    =tanθsecθ= \tan \theta \sec \theta​​
