Solution
L.H.S. = (1 + cot A – cosec A)(1 + tan A + sec A)
= `(1 + cosA/sinA - 1/sinA)(1 + sinA/cosA + 1/cosA)`
= `((sinA + cosA - 1)/sinA)((cosA + sinA + 1)/cosA)`
= `((sinA + cosA - 1)(sinA + cosA + 1))/(sinAcosA)`
= `((sinA + cosA)^2 - (1)^2)/(sinAcosA)`
= `(sin^2A + cos^2A + 2sinAcosA - 1)/(sinAcosA)`
= `(1 + 2sinAcosA - 1)/(sinAcosA)`
= `(2sinAcosA)/(sinAcosA)`
= 2 = R.H.S.
