      Question

      Simplify the following trigonometric expression: 

      8 cos 40° cosec 50° − 2 cot 30° cot 60° 
      B 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      8 cos 40° cosec 50° − 2 cot 30° cot 60°

      = 8 cos 40° cosec (90° − 40°) − 2 cot 30° cot (90° − 30°)

      Using, cosec (90° − A) = sec A and cot (90° − A) = tan A

      = 8 cos 40° sec 40° − 2 cot 30° tan 30°

      Since, sec A is reciprocal of cos A and cot A is reciprocal of tan A.

      = 8 − 2 = 6
