Solution We have

${\text{ L}}{\text{.H}}{\text{.S}}{\text{.}} = 3\sin \frac{\pi }{6}\sec \frac{\pi }{3} - 4\sin \frac{{5\pi }}{6}\cot \frac{\pi }{4}$

$ = 3 \times \frac{1}{2} \times 2 - 4\sin \left( {\pi  - \frac{\pi }{6}} \right) \times 1 = 3 - 4\sin \frac{\pi }{6}$

$ = 3 - 4 \times \frac{1}{2} = 1 = R.H.S$
