Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

cosec2θ

Solution :

The correct option is cosec2θ.

To find the value of the given expression, let us simplify the numerator and denominator of the fraction separately.

The given expression is:

( 2 cos 3 θ cos θ sin θ 2 sin 3 θ ) 2 + 1

Let us factor out cosθ from the numerator and sinθ from the denominator:

Numerator:
2 cos 3 θ cos θ = cos θ ( 2 cos 2 θ 1 )

Denominator:
sin θ 2 sin 3 θ = sin θ ( 1 2 sin 2 θ )

Recall the trigonometric double-angle identities for cosine:
cos ( 2 θ ) = 2 cos 2 θ 1 = 1 2 sin 2 θ

Substituting these identities back into the fraction, we get:

2 cos 3 θ cos θ sin θ 2 sin 3 θ = cos θ cos ( 2 θ ) sin θ cos ( 2 θ )

Since we are given that θ45°, we have 2θ90°, which means cos(2θ)0. We can cancel cos(2θ) from the numerator and denominator:

cos θ sin θ = cot θ

Now, substituting this result back into the main expression:

( cot θ ) 2 + 1 = cot 2 θ + 1

Using the fundamental trigonometric identity 1+cot2θ=cosec2θ, we obtain:

cot 2 θ + 1 = cosec 2 θ

Thus, the final simplified value of the expression is cosec2θ.
