Question : What is the value of the expression: $\sin A(1+\frac{\sin A}{\cos A})+\cos A(1+\frac{\cos A}{\sin A})$?
Option 1: $\sec A+\operatorname{cosec}A$
Option 2: $\sin \mathrm{A}+\cos \mathrm{A}$
Option 3: $\sin \mathrm{A}-\cos \mathrm{A}$
Option 4: $\sec \mathrm{A}-\operatorname{cosec} \mathrm{A}$
Correct Answer: $\sec A+\operatorname{cosec}A$
Solution : Given: $\sin A(1+\frac{\sin A}{\cos A})+\cos A(1+\frac{\cos A}{\sin A})$ = $\sin A(1+\tan A)+\cos A(1+\cot A)$ = $\sin A(1+\tan A)+\frac{\cos A}{\tan A}(1+\tan A)$ = $(1+\tan A)(\sin A +\frac{\cos^2 A}{\sin A})$ = $(1+\tan A)(\frac{\sin^2 A +cos^2 A}{\sin A})$ = $\frac{(1+\tan A)}{\sin A}$ = $\frac{(1+\frac{\sin A}{\cos A})}{\sin A}$
