Correct Answer: $\operatorname{cos} \theta$
Solution : Given: $\operatorname{cosec} \theta + \cot \theta = m$ ........(i) Solution: $\operatorname{cosec}^{2}\theta-\cot^{2}\theta = 1$ (Trigonometric identity) $⇒(\operatorname{cosec} \theta - \cot \theta)(\operatorname{cosec} \theta + \cot \theta) =1$ $⇒(\operatorname{cosec} \theta - \cot \theta)=\frac{1}{m}$ ...........(ii) Adding (i) and (ii), we get, $\operatorname{cosec} \theta + \cot \theta + \operatorname{cosec} \theta -\cot \theta = m + \frac{1}{m}$ $⇒2\operatorname{cosec} \theta = \frac{m^{2} + 1}{m}$ $⇒\operatorname{cosec} \theta = \frac{m^{2} + 1}{2m}$ Subtracting (i) and (ii), we get, $\operatorname{cosec} \theta + \cot \theta- \operatorname{cosec} \theta + \cot \theta = m - \frac{1}{m}$ $⇒2\cot \theta = \frac{m^{2} - 1}{m}$ $⇒\cot \theta = \frac{m^{2} - 1}{2m}$ $\therefore \frac{m^{2}–1}{m^{2} + 1}= \frac{m^{2} – 1}{2m}×\frac{2m}{m^2+1}=\cot\theta×\frac{1}{\operatorname{cosec} \theta}=\frac{\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}}{\frac{1}{\sin \theta}}=\cos \theta$ Hence, the correct answer is $\cos\theta$.
