Question
If θ is an acute angle of a right angled triangle, then which of the following equation is not true?
Options
sin θ cot θ = cos θ
cos θ tan θ = sin θ
cosec2 θ – cot2 θ = 1
tan2 θ – sec2 θ = 1

Solution
tan2 θ – sec2 θ = 1
Explanation:
tan2 θ – sec2 θ = 1 is not true
∵ sec2 θ = 1 + tan2 θ
or sec2 θ – tan2 θ = 1

Prove that sec θ + tan θ = `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)`.
Proof: L.H.S. = sec θ + tan θ
= `1/square + square/square`
= `square/square` ......`(∵ sec θ = 1/square, tan θ = square/square)`
= `((1 + sin θ) square)/(cos θ square)` ......[Multiplying `square` with the numerator and denominator]
= `(1^2 - square)/(cos θ square)`
= `square/(cos θ square)`
= `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)` = R.H.S.
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ sec θ + tan θ = `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)`
