Question

What is the value of \(\sec A(1 - \sin A)(\sec A + \tan A)\)?

This question was previously asked in
RRB Group D 2018 Question Paper (11-Oct-2018) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

1

Expand: sec A·(1 − sin A)·(sec A + tan A) = (1 − sin A)·(sec²A + sec A·tan A).

sec²A = 1/cos²A, sec A·tan A = sin A/cos²A. So (1 − sin A)·(1 + sin A)/cos²A = (1 − sin²A)/cos²A = cos²A/cos²A = 1.

So the expression equals 1.

Hence, 1.
