    If  \[a\,\,\cot \,\theta +b\,\text{cosec}\,\theta ={{x}^{2}}\] and \[b\,\,\cot \theta +a\,\,\text{cosec-}{{\text{y}}^{2}}\] then the value of \[({{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}})\] is

    A)  \[1\]                            

    B)  \[{{x}^{4}}-{{y}^{4}}\]

    C)  \[{{y}^{4}}-{{x}^{4}}\]                   

    D)  \[0\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[a\,\,\cot \,\theta +b\,\,\text{cosec}\,\theta \text{=}{{\text{x}}^{2}}\] Squaring both sides- \[{{a}^{2}}{{\cot }^{2}}\theta +{{b}^{2}}\text{cose}{{\text{c}}^{2}}\theta +2ab\,\,\cot \theta \,\,\text{cosec }\theta \text{ }\,\text{=}\,{{\text{x}}^{4}}\]  ?.(i)             \[b\,\,\cot \theta +a\,\,\text{cosec }\theta \text{=}{{\text{y}}^{2}}\] Squaring both sides                    \[{{b}^{2}}{{\cot }^{2}}\theta +{{a}^{2}}\text{cose}{{\text{c}}^{2}}\theta +2ab\,\,\cot \,\theta \,\,\operatorname{cosec}\,\theta ={{y}^{4}}\] ?..(ii) Subtracting equation fi^ from (ii)-        \[{{b}^{2}}{{\cot }^{2}}\theta +{{a}^{2}}\text{cose}{{\text{c}}^{2}}\theta -{{a}^{2}}{{\cot }^{2}}\theta +{{b}^{2}}\text{cose}{{\text{c}}^{2}}\theta ={{y}^{4}}-{{x}^{4}}\] \[{{a}^{2}}(\text{cose}{{\text{c}}^{2}}\theta -{{\cot }^{2}}\theta )-{{b}^{2}}(\text{cose}{{\text{c}}^{2}}\theta -{{\cot }^{2}}\theta )\] \[={{y}^{4}}-{{x}^{4}}\] As we know \[(\text{cose}{{\text{c}}^{2}}\theta -{{\cot }^{2}}\theta =1)\] So,  \[{{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}=\underline{{{\mathbf{y}}^{\mathbf{4}}}\mathbf{-}{{\mathbf{x}}^{\mathbf{4}}}}\]
