    If \[y=\cos \theta +i\sin \theta \],then the value of \[y+\frac{1}{y}\] is [RPET 1995]

    A) \[2\cos \theta \]

    B) \[2\sin \theta \]

    C) \[2\text{cosec}\theta \]

    D) \[2\tan \theta \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[y=\cos \theta +i\sin \theta ={{e}^{i\theta }},\] then \[\frac{1}{y}={{e}^{-i\theta }}=\cos \theta -i\sin \theta \] \[\therefore y+\frac{1}{y}=2\cos \theta \].
