Given that cos θ = √3/2, then the value of \(\frac{cosec^2\,\theta - sec^2\,\theta}{cosec^2\,\theta + sec^2\,\theta}\) is :(cosec2θ - sec2θ)/(cosec2θ + sec2θ)(a) -1(b) 1(c) 1/2(d) - 1/2

Answer»

Correct answer is (c) 1/2

cos θ = √3/2

cos θ = cos 30°

θ = 30°

Now,

\(\frac{cosec^2\,\theta - sec^2\,\theta}{cosec^2\,\theta + sec^2\,\theta}\)

\(=\frac{cosec^2\,30^\circ - sec^2\,\theta}{cosec^2\,30^\circ + sec^2\,\theta}\)

\(=\frac{(2)^2 - \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^2}{(2)^2 + \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^2}\)

\(=\frac{4 - \frac{4}{3}}{4 + \frac{4}{3}}\)

\(=\cfrac{\frac{12 - 4}{3}}{\frac{12 + 4}{3}}\)

\(=\frac{8}{16}\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\)
