Solution
LHS = `(sin"A"/cos"A")/(1 - cos"A"/sin"A") + (cos"A"/sin"A")/(1 - sin"A"/cos"A")`
= `(sin"A" sin"A")/(cos"A"(sin"A" - cos"A")) + (cos"A" cos"A")/((cos"A" - sin"A") sin"A"`
= `1/((sin"A" - cos"A")) [(sin^2"A")/cos"A" + (cos^2"A")/(-sin"A")]`
= `(sin^3"A" - cos^3"A")/(sin"A".cos"A"(sin"A" - cos"A"))`
= `((sin"A" - cos"A")(sin^2"A" + cos^2"A" + sin"A". cos"A"))/(sin"A". cos"A"(sin"A" - cos"A")`
= `(1 + sin"A". cos"A")/(sin"A".cos"A")`
= `1/(sin"A".cos"A") + (sin"A".cos"A")/(sin"A".cos"A")`
= `1/sin"A" . 1/cos"A"+ 1`
= sec A.cosec A + 1
= RHS
Hence proved.
