[MP PET 1992; MNR 1990; UPSEAT 2002]

Options:

A) 1

B) 4

C) 2

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ {{\sin }^{2}}\theta +cose{c^{2}}\theta ={{(\sin \theta +cosec\theta )}^{2}}-2\sin \theta \text{ cosec}\theta $ $ ={{(2)}^{2}}-2=4-2=2, $ since $ (\sin \theta +cosec\theta )=2. $
