Correct Answer :

Option A

-1

Solution :

The correct answer is -1.

To find the value of the given trigonometric expression, we can break it down into step-by-step simplifications using standard trigonometric identities.

The given expression is:

(1+cotAcosecA)(1+tanA+secA)3(sin2A+cos2A)

Step 1: Convert all trigonometric terms in the first two factors to sine and cosine.
Recall the quotient and reciprocal identities:
cotA=cosAsinA
cosecA=1sinA
tanA=sinAcosA
secA=1cosA

Substitute these into the first factor:
1+cotAcosecA=1+cosAsinA1sinA=sinA+cosA1sinA

Substitute these into the second factor:
1+tanA+secA=1+sinAcosA+1cosA=cosA+sinA+1cosA=sinA+cosA+1cosA

Step 2: Multiply the simplified factors.
(1+cotAcosecA)(1+tanA+secA)=(sinA+cosA1)(sinA+cosA+1)sinAcosA

Notice that the numerator is of the difference of squares form (x1)(x+1)=x21, where x=sinA+cosA.
(sinA+cosA1)(sinA+cosA+1)=(sinA+cosA)212

Expand (sinA+cosA)2:
(sinA+cosA)2=sin2A+cos2A+2sinAcosA

Using the Pythagorean identity sin2A+cos2A=1:
(sinA+cosA)2=1+2sinAcosA

Substitute this back into the numerator:
(sinA+cosA)21=1+2sinAcosA1=2sinAcosA

Therefore, the product simplifies to:
2sinAcosAsinAcosA=2

Step 3: Simplify the second half of the given expression.
The second part is 3(sin2A+cos2A).
Since sin2A+cos2A=1, this becomes:
3(1)=3

Step 4: Combine the results.
Subtracting the second part from the first part gives:
23=1

Thus, the final value of the expression is -1.
