Correct Answer: $\operatorname{cosec}\theta - \cot\theta$


Solution : Given:
$\sqrt{\frac{\sec\theta \:-\: 1}{\sec\theta \:+\: 1}}$
= $\sqrt{\frac{(\sec\theta \:-\: 1)(\sec\theta\:-\:1)}{(\sec\theta \:+\:1)(\sec\theta\:-\:1)}}$
= $\sqrt{\frac{(\sec\theta\:-\:1)^2}{\sec^2\theta\:-\:1}}$
= $\sqrt{\frac{(\sec\theta\:-\:1)^2}{\tan^2\theta}}$
= $\frac{(\sec\theta\:-\:1)}{\tan\theta}$
= $\operatorname{cosec}\theta-\cot\theta$
Hence, the correct answer is $\operatorname{cosec}\theta-\cot\theta$.
