Find the value of (tan 20°)²/(cosec 70°)² + (cot 20°)²/(sec 70°)² + 2 tan 15° tan 45° tan 75°.

  1. 2

  2. 3

  3. 1

Answer: B

Solution

Using cosec 70° = sec 20° and sec 70° = cosec 20°, the first two terms simplify to sin² 20° + cos² 20° = 1. Also, tan 15° × tan 75° = 1 and tan 45° = 1. Therefore, the expression = 1 + 2 × 1 × 1 = 3.
