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​​
