Question : The minimum value of, $\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta+\sec^2\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^2\theta+\tan^2\theta+\cot^2\theta$ is:

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 3

Option 3: 5

Option 4: 7

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 7


Solution : Given: $\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta+\sec^2\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^2\theta+\tan^2\theta+\cot^2\theta$
= $(1+\sec^2\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^2\theta+\tan^2\theta+\cot^2\theta)$
= $(1+1+\tan^2\theta+1+\cot^2\theta+\tan^2\theta+\cot^2\theta)$
= $(3+2\tan^2\theta+2\cot^2\theta)$
= $3+2(\tan^2\theta+\cot^2\theta)$
The value of the above expression is minimum when $\tan^2\theta+\cot^2\theta$ is minimum.
We know that $\tan^2\theta+\cot^2\theta \geq 2$
So, the minimum value is [3 + (2 × 2)] = 7
Hence, the correct
