Correct Answer: $\cos A$
Solution : Consider, $\operatorname{cosec} A+\cot A=a \sqrt{b}$ Squaring both sides, we get, ⇒ $(\operatorname{cosec} A+\cot A)^2=a^2b$ ⇒ $\operatorname{cosec^2 }A+\cot^2A+2\operatorname{cosec} A\cot A = a^2b$ ⇒ $a^2b=\frac{1}{\sin^2 A}+\frac{\cos^2A}{\sin^2 A}+2\frac{1}{\sin A}\frac{\cos A}{\sin A}$ ⇒ $a^2b=\frac{1+\cos^2A+2\cos A}{\sin^2 A}$ ⇒ $a^2b=\frac{(1+\cos A)^2}{\sin^2A}$ ⇒ $a^2b=\frac{(1+\cos A)^2}{1-\cos^2A}$ [As $\cos^2A+\sin^2A=1$] ⇒ $a^2b=\frac{(1+\cos A)^2}{(1-\cos A)(1+\cos A)}$ [Using $a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$] ⇒ $\frac{a^2b}{1}=\frac{1+\cos A}{1-\cos A}$ Applying componendo and dividendo, ⇒ $\frac{a^2b-1}{a^2b+1}=\frac{(1+\cos A)-(1-\cos A)}{(1+\cos A)+(1-\cos A)}$ ⇒ $\frac{a^2b-1}{a^2b+1}=\frac{1+\cos A-1+\cos A)}{2}$ ⇒ $\frac{a^2b-1}{a^2b+1}=\frac{2\cos A}{2}$ ⇒ $\frac{a^2b-1}{a^2b+1}=\cos A$ Hence, the correct answer is $\cos A$.
