Question:

$({cosec} A-\cot A)(1+\cos A)=?$

Options:

$\cos A$

$\sin A$

$\cot A$

$cosec~A$

Correct Answer:

$\sin A$

Explanation:

( cosecA - cotA ) . ( 1 + cosA )

= ( \(\frac{1}{sinA}\) - \(\frac{cosA}{sinA}\) ) . ( 1 + cosA ) 

= \(\frac{1 - cosA}{sinA}\) ) . ( 1 + cosA )

= \(\frac{1² - cos²A}{sinA}\) )

{ using , sin²A + cos²A = 1 }

= = \(\frac{sin²A}{sinA}\) )

= sinA
