Solution
L.H.S. `=(cosec A)/(cosecA - 1) + (cosecA)/(cosecA + 1)`
= `(cosec A (cosec A + 1) + cosec A (cosec A - 1))/((cosec A - 1) (cosec A + 1))`
= `(cosec^2 A+cosec A + cosec^2 A-cosec A)/((cosec A)^2 - (1)^2)`
= `(2 cosec^2 A)/(cosec^2 A - 1)`
= `(2 cosec^2 A)/(cot^2 A)` ...(∵ cosec2 A – 1 = cot2 A)
= `2(1/cancel(sin^2A))/(cos^2A/cancel(sin^2A))`
= `2/cos^2A`
= 2 sec2 A
= R.H.S.
