Question : If $\operatorname{cosec} \theta+ \cot \theta=\frac{3}{2}$, what is the value of $\operatorname{cosec}  \theta$?

Option 1: $\frac{13}{12}$

Option 2: $\frac{3}{2}$

Option 3: $\frac{11}{12}$

Option 4: $\frac{9}{13}$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{13}{12}$


Solution : Given: $\operatorname{cosec}\  \theta+\cot \theta=\frac{3}{2}$ -----------------(1)
Since we know that $(\operatorname{cosec} \  \theta+\cot \theta)(\operatorname{cosec}\  \theta-\cot \theta)=1$
Substitute the given value in the above identity and we get,
$⇒\frac{3}{2}×(\operatorname{cosec} \ \theta-\cot \theta)=1$
$⇒\operatorname{cosec} \ \theta-\cot \theta=\frac{2}{3}$-------------------------(2)
Adding equation (1) and equation (2), we get,
$\operatorname{cosec}\  \theta+\cot \theta+\operatorname{cosec}\

$a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc$
= $\frac{(a\:+\:b\:+\:c)[(a\:-\:b)^2\:+\:(b\:-\:c)^2+(c\:-\:a)^2]}{2}$
= $\frac{(61\:+\:63\:+\:65)[(61\:-\:63)^2+(63\:-\:65)^2)+(65\:-\:61)^2]}{2}$
= $\frac{189×24}{2}$
