Correct Answer: $\frac{53}{28}$
Solution :
$\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta - \cot^2\theta = 1$
⇒$(\operatorname{cosec}\theta+\cot\theta)(\operatorname{cosec}\theta-\cot\theta) = 1$
Given, $\operatorname{cosec} \theta-\cot \theta=\frac{7}{2}$ ..........(i)
⇒$(\operatorname{cosec}\theta+\cot\theta)\frac{7}{2} = 1$
⇒$(\operatorname{cosec}\theta+\cot\theta) = \frac{2}{7}$ ............(ii)
Adding equation (i) and (ii), we get,
$2\operatorname{cosec}\theta = \frac{7}{2} + \frac{2}{7}$
$⇒2\operatorname{cosec}\theta = \frac{49+4}{14}$
$⇒\operatorname{cosec}\theta = \frac{53}{28}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{53}{28}$.
