Question

The value of the expression [cosec(75+A)sec(15A)tan(55+A)+cot(35A)]\left[ \cosec(75^\circ + A) - \sec(15^\circ - A) - \tan(55^\circ + A) + \cot(35^\circ - A) \right]​ is:

A.

-1

B.

0

C.

D.

32\frac{3}{2}​​

Correct option is B

Given expression:
cosec(75+A)sec(15A)tan(55+A)+cot(35A)\cosec(75^\circ + A) - \sec(15^\circ - A) - \tan(55^\circ + A) + \cot(35^\circ - A)​​
Use trigonometric identities:
csc(90x)=sec(x)tan(90x)=cot(x)\csc(90^\circ - x) = \sec(x) \\\tan(90^\circ - x) = \cot(x)​​
Now observe:
cosec(75+A)=csc[90(15A)]=sec(15A)tan(55+A)=tan[90(35A)]=cot(35A)\cosec(75^\circ + A) = \csc[90^\circ - (15^\circ - A)] = \sec(15^\circ - A) \\\tan(55^\circ + A) = \tan[90^\circ - (35^\circ - A)] = \cot(35^\circ - A)​​
So the expression becomes:
sec(15A)sec(15A)cot(35A)+cot(35A)\sec(15^\circ - A) - \sec(15^\circ - A) - \cot(35^\circ - A) + \cot(35^\circ - A)​​
Which simplifies to:
0
Correct answer is (b)
