Q9 of 80 Page 311

If and sec θ + cosec θ + x, then the value of x is

Given, sinθ –cosθ = 0


squaring on both sides


(sin2θ + cos2θ -2sinθ cosθ) = 0


(1-2sinθ cosθ ) = 0



secθ + cosecθ = x




sinθ + cosθ = x sinθ cosθ


sinθ + cosθ =


Squaring on both sides




x2 = 8


x = 2√2


Option A is incorrect as it does not satisfy the value


Option B is incorrect as it does not satisfy the value


Option C is incorrect as it does not satisfy the value
