Question:

If sec (7α - 60°) = cosec (15° - 4α) then the value of cosα .

Options:

1

 \(\frac{1}{\sqrt {3}}\)

 \(\frac{3}{\sqrt {2}}\)

 \(\frac{1}{\sqrt {2}}\)

Correct Answer:

 \(\frac{1}{\sqrt {2}}\)

Explanation:

[Concept: sec A = cosec B, when A + B = 90°]

Therefore,

(7α - 60° + 15° - 4α) = 90°

3α = 135°

α = 45°

Put this value in find →

⇒ cos45° =  \(\frac{1}{\sqrt {2}}\)
