Question:

If sec (6α - 25°) = cosec (25° - 3α) then the value of cosα .

Options:

1

\(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{4}\) 

\(\frac{\sqrt {5}}{2}\) 

\(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{2}\) 

Correct Answer:

\(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{2}\) 

Explanation:

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

Therefore,

(6α - 25° + 25° - 3α) = 90°

3α = 90°

α = 30°

Put this value in find →

⇒ cosα 

⇒ cos30° 

\(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{2}\)
