Solving,

cosec 17° 30sec 72° 30cosec (90° - 72° 30)sec 72° 30As, cosec (90 - θ) = sec θsec 72° 30sec 72° 301.\Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{cosec 17° 30}'}{\text{sec 72° 30}'} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{cosec (90° - 72° 30}')}{\text{sec 72° 30}'} \\[1em] \text{As, cosec (90 - θ) = sec θ} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{sec 72° 30}'}{\text{sec 72° 30}'} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 1.

Hence, cosec 17° 30sec 72° 30=1\dfrac{\text{cosec 17° 30}'}{\text{sec 72° 30}'} = 1.
