Question : The value of $\frac{3\left(\cot ^2 47^{\circ}-\sec ^2 43^{\circ}\right)-2\left(\tan ^2 23^{\circ}-\operatorname{cosec}^2 67^{\circ}\right)}{\operatorname{cosec}^2\left(68^{\circ}+\theta\right)-\tan \left(\theta+61^{\circ}\right)-\tan ^2\left(22^{\circ}-\theta\right)+\cot \left(29^{\circ}-\theta\right)}$ is:

Option 1: –1

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 5

Option 4: 0

Team Careers360 5th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: –1


Solution : Given: $\frac{3\left(\cot ^2 47^{\circ}-\sec ^2 43^{\circ}\right)-2\left(\tan ^2 23^{\circ}-\operatorname{cosec}^2 67^{\circ}\right)}{\operatorname{cosec}^2\left(68^{\circ}+\theta\right)-\tan \left(\theta+61^{\circ}\right)-\tan ^2\left(22^{\circ}-\theta\right)+\cot \left(29^{\circ}-\theta\right)}$
= $\frac{3\left(\cot ^2(90^{\circ}- 43^{\circ})-\sec ^2 43^{\circ}\right)-2\left(\tan ^2 23^{\circ}-\operatorname {cosec^2} (90^{\circ}-23^{\circ})\right)}{\sec^2\left(90^{\circ}-(68^{\circ}+\theta)\right)-\cot \left(90^{\circ}-(\theta+61^{\circ})\right)-\tan ^2\left(22^{\circ}-\theta\right)+\cot \left(29^{\circ}-\theta\right)}$
= $\frac{3\left(\tan ^243^{\circ}-\sec ^2 43^{\circ}\right)-2\left(\tan ^2 23^{\circ}-\sec^2 23^{\circ}\right)}{\sec^2\left(22^{\circ}-\theta\right)-\cot \left(29^{\circ}-\theta\right)-\tan ^2\left(22^{\circ}-\theta\right)+\cot \left(29^{\circ}-\theta\right)}$
= $\frac{(3× -1)-(2×(-1))}{1}$
= $\frac{-3+2}{1}$
= $-1$
Hence, the
