Question

If \[ \int \left( \cos x \right)^{-\frac{5}{2}} \left( \sin x \right)^{-\frac{1}{2}} \, dx \] \[ = \frac{P_1}{q_1} \left( \cot x \right)^{\frac{3}{2}} + \frac{P_2}{q_2} \left( \cot x \right)^{\frac{3}{2}} + \frac{P_3}{q_3} \left( \cot x \right)^{\frac{1}{2}} + \frac{P_4}{q_4} \left( \cot x \right)^{-\frac{3}{2}} + c \] (where \( c \) is the constant of integration), then value of \[ \frac{15P_1P_2P_3P_4}{q_1q_2q_3q_4} \] is:

• A. 14
• B. 16
• C. 10
• D. 9

Hint:
