    Consider the following statements : 1. If 45∘<θ<60∘45^\circ < \theta < 60^\circ, then sec⁡2θ+cosec⁡2θ=α2\sec^2 \theta + \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta = \alpha^2 for some real number α>1\alpha > 1. 2. If 0∘<θ<45∘0^\circ < \theta < 45^\circ, then 1+cos⁡θ1−cos⁡θ=x2\frac{1 + \cos \theta}{1 - \cos \theta} = x^2 for some real number x>2x > 2. 3. If 0∘<θ<45∘0^\circ < \theta < 45^\circ, then cos⁡θ1−tan⁡θ+sin⁡θ1−cot⁡θ≥2\frac{\cos \theta}{1 - \tan \theta} + \frac{\sin \theta}{1 - \cot \theta} \ge 2. What is the number of true statements ?
