    Question

    Simplify the following trigonometric expression: 

    15 cos 25° cosec 65° − 5 cot 80° cot 10°
    B 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    15 cos 25° cosec 65° − 5 cot 80° cot 10°

    = 15 cos 25° cosec (90° − 25°) − 5 cot 80° cot (90° − 80°)

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

    = 15 cos 25° sec 25° − 5 cot 80° tan 80°

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

    = 15 − 5 = 10
