Question:

If $3(sec^2\theta + tan^2 \theta)= 5, 0° < \theta < 90°, $ then the value of cosec θ is :

Options:

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

$\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}$

2

$\frac{1}{2}$

Correct Answer:

2

Explanation:

3( sec²θ + tan²θ ) = 5    ----(1)

We know,

sec²θ - tan²θ = 1

Multiply this equation with 3 and add into equation 1.

6 sec²θ = 8

 secθ = \(\frac{2}{√3}\)

{ we know,  sec30º = \(\frac{2}{√3}\) }

so, θ = 30º

Now,

cosecθ

= cosec 30º

= 2
