If $0 \leq \theta \leq 2 \pi, 0 \leq \alpha \leq 2 \pi$ and $\sec ^{2018} \theta$ $+\operatorname{cosec}^{2018} \alpha=2$, then the value of $\cos ^{2020} \theta+\sin ^{2022} \alpha=$
  1. $\frac{3}{2}$
  2. $\frac{1}{2^{2020}}$
  3. 1
  4. 2

Solution

$\sec ^{2018} \theta+\operatorname{cosec}^{2018} \alpha=2$ It is true for $\theta=0$ and $\alpha=\pi / 2$ $ \begin{aligned} \therefore \cos ^{2020} \theta+\sin ^{2022} \alpha & =\cos ^{2020} 0+\sin ^{2022} \frac{\pi}{2} \\ & =1+1=2 \end{aligned} $
