    Consider the following I. \[{{\tan }^{2}}\theta -{{\sin }^{2}}\theta ={{\tan }^{2}}\theta {{\sin }^{2}}\theta \] II. \[(\text{cosec}\theta -\sin \theta )(\sec \theta -\cos \theta )(\tan \theta +\cot \theta )=1\] Which of the above is/are correct?

    A)  Only I is the identity

    B)  Only II is the identity

    C)  Both I and II are the identities

    D)  Neither I nor II is the identity

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    I. \[{{\tan }^{2}}\theta -{{\sin }^{2}}\theta =\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }-{{\sin }^{2}}\theta ,\ne (2n+1)\frac{\pi }{2}\]
    \[=\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta \,\,(1-{{\cos }^{2}}\theta )}{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }\theta \ne (2n+1)\frac{\pi }{2}\]
    \[=\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }{{\sin }^{2}}\theta ,\]\[\theta \ne \,\,(2n+1)\frac{\pi }{2}\]
    \[={{\tan }^{2}}\theta {{\sin }^{2}}\theta ,\]\[\theta \ne (2n+1)\frac{\pi }{2}\]
    II. \[(\text{cosec}\theta -\sin \theta )(\sec \theta -\cos \theta )(tan\theta +cot\theta )\]
    \[=\left( \frac{1}{\sin \theta }-\sin \theta  \right)\left( \frac{1}{\cos \theta }-\cos \theta  \right)\left( \tan \theta +\frac{1}{\tan \theta } \right)\]\[[\because \theta \ne n\pi \,\,(2n+1)\frac{\pi }{2}]\]
    \[=\frac{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta \cdot {{\sin }^{2}}\theta \cdot {{\sec }^{2}}\theta }{\sin \theta \cos \theta \tan \theta },\theta \ne n\pi \,\,(2n+1)\frac{\pi }{2}\]
    \[=\sin \theta \cos \theta \frac{1}{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }\cdot \frac{\cos \theta }{\sin \theta },\]\[\theta \ne n\pi ,\]\[(2n+1)\frac{\pi }{2}=1\]
    Since, to become an identity, both statements Must be satisfied for every value of\[\theta \].
    Therefore, neither I nor II are the identity.
