    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)
