If cosec θ + cot θ = 2, then sin θ is :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
cosec θ + cot θ = 2 -----(1)
{ we know, cosec²θ - cot²θ = 1 }
so, cosec θ - cot θ = \(\frac{1 }{cosec θ + cot θ}\)
⇒ cosec θ - cot θ = \(\frac{1 }{2}\) -----(2)
Adding equation 1 and 2.
2 cosec θ = 2 + \(\frac{1 }{2}\) = \(\frac{5 }{2}\)
cosec θ = \(\frac{5 }{4}\)
{ we know, sin θ = \(\frac{1 }{cosec θ}\) }
so, sin θ = \(\frac{4 }{5}\)
