Question:

If 5 +12 cot θ = cosec θ and 12 - 5cot θ = Kcosec θ, then find K² ?

Options:

101

37

168

99

Correct Answer:

168

Explanation:

5 + 12cot θ = cosec θ            12 - 5 cot θ = Kcosec θ

square both side                     

52 + 144cot2 θ + 120cot θ= cosec2 θ  ....(i)

144 + 25cot2 θ - 120cot θ = K2cosec2 θ  .... (ii)

add (i) and (ii)

(52 + 122) + (122 + 52 ) cot2 θ = cosec2 θ (1+ K2)

132 + 132cot2 θ = cosec2 θ (1+ K2)

132 (1+ cot2 θ) = cosec2 θ (1+ K2)

169 cosec2 θ = cosec2 θ (1+ K2)

K2 = 168
