this is same as 6(2/3 sin2θ+3/2 cosec2θ)

= 6(t+1/t)

Minimum value is 12...

but t can never be 1

so the minimum will be when t is maximum (from the graph of y=x+1/x) or using derivatives test... (at the end point)

so at t=2/3

so 6(2/3+3/2) = 13

Or use AM≥G.M

edit : am≥gm is of no use as we get sin2θ = 3/2

we are supposing that t=1
so if we put
2/3sin2θ=1,the value becomes
sin2θ=3/2...is that so?
