We need to prove-
\frac{\tan \theta }{1-\cot \theta }+\frac{\cot \theta }{1-\tan \theta }=1+\sec \theta \:cosec \theta

Taking LHS;

\\\Rightarrow \frac{\tan^2 \theta }{\tan \theta-1 }+\frac{1}{\tan\theta(1-\tan \theta) }\\\\\ \Rightarrow\frac{\tan^3\theta-\tan^4\theta+\tan\theta-1}{(\tan\theta-1).\tan\theta.(1-\tan\theta)}\\\\ \Rightarrow \frac{(\tan^3\theta-1)(1-\tan\theta)}{\tan\theta.(\tan\theta-1)(1-\tan\theta)}\\
By using the identity a3 - b3 =(a - b) (a2 + b2+ab)

\\\Rightarrow \frac{(\tan\theta -1)(\tan^2\theta+1+\tan\theta)}{\tan\theta(\tan\theta -1a)}\\\\ \Rightarrow \tan\theta+1+\frac{1}{\tan\theta}\\\\ \Rightarrow 1+\frac{1+\tan^2\theta}{\tan\theta}\\\\ \Rightarrow 1+\sec^2\theta \times \frac{1}{\tan\theta}\\\\ \Rightarrow 1+\sec\theta.\csc\theta\\\\ =RHS

Hence proved.
