Option 3: 20°
Option 4: 42°
Correct Answer: 42°
Solution : Given, $\sec 2 \theta=\operatorname{cosec}\left(\theta-36° \right)$ We know, $ \operatorname{cosec}\theta = \operatorname{sec}(90°-\theta)$ ⇒ $\sec2\theta = \sec\{90°-(\theta-36°)\}$ ⇒ $\sec2\theta=\sec(90°-\theta+36°)$ ⇒ $2\theta=126°-\theta$ ⇒ $3\theta=126°$ ⇒ $\theta=\frac{126°}{3}=42°$ Hence, the correct answer is 42°.
