Question : $ \sqrt{\frac{1+\cos \theta}{1-\cos \theta}}+\sqrt{\frac{1-\cos \theta}{1+\cos \theta}}=$________.
Option 1: $2 \sin \theta$
Option 2: $2 \cos \theta$
Option 3: $ 2 \operatorname{cosec} \theta $
Option 4: $2 \sec \theta$
Correct Answer: $ 2 \operatorname{cosec} \theta $
Solution : Given: $\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos \theta}{1-\cos \theta}}+\sqrt{\frac{1-\cos \theta}{1+\cos \theta}}$ = $ \frac{(1+\cos \theta) + (1-\cos \theta)}{\sqrt{(1-\cos \theta)(1+\cos \theta)}}$ = $ \frac{2}{\sqrt{(1-\cos^2 \theta)}}$ = $\frac{2}{\sin \theta}$ = $ 2 \operatorname{cosec} \theta $ Hence, the correct answer is $ 2 \operatorname{cosec} \theta $.
Question : Directions: In the question, a part of the sentence is in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at 1, 2 and 3 that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, your answer is (4).
