Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{4}$
Solution :
We know that,
$\operatorname{cosec}^2\theta-\operatorname{cot}^2\theta=(\operatorname{cosec}\theta-\operatorname{cot}\theta)(\operatorname{cosec}\theta+\operatorname{cot}\theta)=1$
$⇒(\operatorname{cosec}\theta-\operatorname{cot}\theta)=\frac{1}{2}$ ----------------(1)
Given,
$\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta=2$ ------------------(2)
Solving the above equations, we get,
$\operatorname{cosec} \theta=\frac{5}{4}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{5}{4}$.
