Correct Answer:

$\frac{\pi}{3}$


Solution : Given: $0°<\theta<90°$ and $2\sec\theta =3 \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta$
$2\sec\theta =3 \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta$
$⇒\frac{2}{\cos\theta}=\frac{3}{\sin^2\theta}$
Squaring both sides, we get,
$\frac{4}{\cos^2\theta}=\frac{9}{\sin^4\theta}$
$⇒4\sin^4\theta+9\sin^2\theta-9=0$
$⇒(\sin^2\theta+3)(4\sin^2\theta-3)=0$
$\therefore \sin\theta= \sqrt{-3} , \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
The value of $\sin\theta$ can't be $\sqrt{-3}$.
$⇒\sin\theta= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\sin60°$
$\therefore \theta=60°=\frac{\pi}{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{\pi}{3}$.
