Correct Answer: $\operatorname{cosec} P+\cot P$


Solution : Given: $\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos P}{1-\cos P}}$
Multiply the numerator and denominator by $1+\cos P$
$=\sqrt{\frac{(1+\cos P)^2}{(1-\cos P)(1+\cos P)}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{(1+\cos P)^2}{(1-\cos^2 P)}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{(1+\cos P)^2}{(\sin^2 P)}}$
$=\frac{(1+\cos P)}{(\sin P)}$
$=\operatorname{cosec}P + \cot P$
Hence, the correct answer is $\operatorname{cosec}P + \cot P$.
