Correct Answer - Option 2 : x2 - 1

Given:

\(\frac 1 {\rm cosec^2\;51^\circ} + \sin^2 39^\circ + \tan^2 51^\circ - \frac 1 {\sin^2 51^\circ\sec^2 39^\circ}\)

Concept used:

sin2θ + cos2θ = 1

1 + cot2θ = cosec2θ 

sinθ = 1/x

sin(90° - θ) = cosθ 

sin39° = co51° = 1/x

Calculatuions:

⇒ sin251° + sin239° + tan251° - (cos239°/sin251°)

⇒ sin251° + {sin(90° - 51°)}2 + tan251° - [cos239°/{sin(90° - 39°)}2]

⇒ sin251° + cos251° + tan251° - [cos239°/cos239°]                        

⇒ 1 + tan251° - 1

⇒ tan251°

⇒ {tan(90° - 39°)}2

⇒ cot239° 

⇒ cosec239° - 1

⇒ x2 - 1

∴ The value is x2 - 1
