Answer
Both A and R are true.
Explanation
Given, 5 cos 40°.cosec 50° = 5
Taking L.H.S.
= 5.cos 40°.cosec 50°
= 5. cos 40°.cosec (90° - 40°)
= 5. cos 40°.sec 40°
= 5. cos 40°.
= 5. cos 40°.
= 5.
= 5
Taking R.H.S. = 5
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ Assertion (A) is true.
From the above calculation,
5 cos 40°.cosec 50°
= 5 cos 40° x cosec (90° - 40°)
= 5 cos 40° x
= 5
∴ Reason (R) is true.
Hence, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true.
