If A and B are complementary angles, then

Question:

If A and B are complementary angles, then

(a) sin A = sin B
(b) cos A = cos B
(c) tan A = tan B
(d) sec A = cosec B

Solution:

Given: $A$ and are $B$ are complementary angles

Since $\sec \left(90^{\circ}-B\right)=\operatorname{cosec} B$

therefore $A+B=90^{\circ}$

$\Rightarrow A=90^{\circ}-B$

$\Rightarrow \sec A=\sec \left(90^{\circ}-B\right)$

$\Rightarrow \sec A=\operatorname{cosec} B$

Hence the correct option is $(d)$
