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°.
