[MP PET 1986]

Options:

A) m

B) n

C) 2m

D) 2n

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ n(m^{2}-1)=(\sec \theta +cosec\theta ).2\sin \theta \cos \theta $ ( $ \because m^{2}=1+2\sin \theta \cos \theta $ ) $ =\frac{\sin \theta +\cos \theta }{\sin \theta .\cos \theta }.2\sin \theta \cos \theta =2m $ .
