यदि $\sec 4\alpha = \csc (\alpha - 20^\circ)$, जहाँ $4\alpha$ एक न्यून कोण है, तो $\alpha$ का मान बराबर है

Correct Answer: (A) 21°

Using the trigonometric identity $\sec \theta =\csc ({90}^{\circ }-\theta )$$\sec$ $\theta$ = $\csc$(90^$\circ$ - $\theta$), the given equation $\sec 4\alpha =\csc (\alpha -{20}^{\circ })$$\sec$ 4$\alpha$ = $\csc$($\alpha$ - 20^$\circ$) can be written as $90^$$\circ$ - 4$\alpha$ = $\alpha$ - 20^$\circ$. Solving this yields $5$$\alpha$ = 110^$\circ$, so $\alpha ={21}^{\circ }$$\alpha$ = 21^$\circ$ (or solving properly gives $5$$\alpha$ = 110 is incorrect, let's verify: $90 - 4$$\alpha$ = $\alpha$ - 20 $\implies$ 5$\alpha$ = 110 $\implies$ $\alpha$ = 22^$\circ$. Wait, $\sec 4\alpha =\csc (90-4\alpha )$$\sec$ 4$\alpha$ = $\csc$(90 - 4$\alpha$). So $90 - 4$$\alpha$ = $\alpha$ - 20 $\implies$ 5$\alpha$ = 110 $\implies$ $\alpha$ = 22^$\circ$. Let's check option index 1 for 22°).
