  1. If θ is a positive acute angle and cosec θ + cot θ = √3 , then the value of cosec θ is
    1. 1
      3
    2. 3
    3. 2
      3
    4. 1
Correct Option: C

cosecθ + cotθ = 3 ...(i)
cosec²θ – cot²θ = 1
⇒ (cosecθ + cotθ) (cosecθ – cotθ) = 1

⇒ cosecθ - cotθ =
1
....(ii)
3

∴ cosecθ + cotθ + cosecθ – cotθ = √3 +
1
3

⇒ 2 cosecθ =
3 + 1
3

⇒ cosecθ =
4
=
2
2√33
