Solution
L.H.S. = `(1 + sin A)/(cosec A - cot A) - (1 - sin A)/(cosec A + cot A)`
= `((1 + sin A)(cosec A + cot A) - (1 - sin A)(cosec A - cot A))/((cosec A - cot A)(cosec A + cot A))`
= `(cosec A + cot A + sin A cosec A + sin A cot A - cosec A + cot A + sin A cosec A - sin A cos A)/(cosec^2A - cot^2A)`
= 2 cot A + 2 sin A cosec A
= 2 cot A + 2 `1/(cosec A) xx cosec A`
= 2 (cot A + 1)
Hence proved.
