Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 100

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

p = \frac{|-10|}{\sqrt{\sec^2 \alpha + \operatorname{cosec}^2 \alpha}} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{\cos^2 \alpha} + \frac{1}{\sin^2 \alpha}}} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{\frac{\sin^2 \alpha + \cos^2 \alpha}{\sin^2 \alpha \cos^2 \alpha}}} = \frac{10}{\frac{1}{|\sin \alpha \cos \alpha|}} =…
