Answer

We need to find the value of,

(cos2 25° + cos2 65°) + cosec θ sec(90° - θ) - cot θ tan (90° - θ).

The above equation can be written as,

⇒ [cos2 25° + cos2 (90 - 25)°] + cosec θ cosec θ - cot θ cot θ

⇒ (cos2 25° + sin2 25°) + cosec θ cosec θ - cot θ cot θ

⇒ 1 + cosec2 θ - cot2 θ

⇒ 1 + 1

⇒ 2.

Hence, the value of the equation is 2.
