Question:

The least value of $8cosec^2\theta + 25 sin^2 \theta $ is :

Options:

$30\sqrt{2}$

$40\sqrt{2}$

$10\sqrt{2}$

$20\sqrt{2}$

Correct Answer:

$20\sqrt{2}$

Explanation:

a cosec²θ + b sin²θ

minimum value for it = 2\(\sqrt {ab }\)

8 cosec²θ + 25 sin²θ

Minimum value

= 2\(\sqrt {8 × 25 }\)

= 20\(\sqrt {2 }\)
