θ is equal to:

  1. A
    1
  2. B
    3
  3. C
    0
  4. D
    2

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's simplify the expression inside the brackets:
1+cscθ
sinθ

+
sinθ
1+cscθ

=
sinθ(1+cscθ)
sin
2
θ+(1+cscθ)
2



Expand the numerator:

sin
2
θ+1+2cscθ+csc
2
θ
Multiply the whole bracket by cscθ:

cscθ[
sinθ(1+cscθ)
sin
2
θ+1+2cscθ+csc
2
θ

]
Since cscθ=
sinθ
1

, the denominator becomes sinθ⋅cscθ(1+cscθ)=1(1+cscθ).

So the expression reduces to:

1+cscθ

θ+1+2cscθ+csc

Let's substitute sinθ=1 (by choosing θ=90

to check rapidly):

csc90

=1,sin90

=1,cot90

=0
