Let's simplify it , I will use x instead of \(\theta\) \[cosec\ 2x = \sec x +\cot x \] \[\frac{1}{\sin 2x}=\frac{1}{\cos x }+\frac{\cos x }{\sin x}\] \[\frac{1}{2\sin x \cos x }=\frac{\sin x +\cos ^2 x }{\cos x \sin x }\] We can cancel sin x and cos x from both the sides, but we have to be mindful about one thing. We can only cancel if sin x and cos x are not 0, so answer can't have 180 degrees as part of the answer. Do you get this part?

how did u come up with the first equation? what is the proof

OpenStudy (ash2326):

\[cosec \ x =\frac 1 {\sin x}\] \[\sec x = \frac 1 {\cos x }\] \[\cot x =\frac {\cos x }{\sin x}\] I just used these, which part you have doubt?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bro the question states that the equation in the RHS should be solved to form the the equation in the LHS

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Where does it states that? Solve the equation cosec 2θ = sec θ + cot θ, giving all solutions in the interval 0◦ < θ < 360◦
