Answer: Option B. -> 6
:
B
Question 34. If α+β=π2 and β+α=α, then tan α equals
  1.    2(tan β+tan γ)
  2.    tan β+tan γ
  3.    tan β+2tan γ
  4.    2tan β+tan γ
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> tan β+2tan γ
:
C
(c) α+β=π2=>tanβ=cotα
tan(β+γ)=tanα=>tanα=tanβ+tanγ1tanβtanγ
=>tanα=cotα+tanγ1cotαtanγ
=>tanαtanγ=cotα+tanγ
=>tanα=tanβ+2tanγ
Question 35. If x1,x2,x3,......,xn are in A.P. whose common difference is a, then the value of sin α(sec x1 sec x2 + sec x2 sec x3 +....... + sec xn1, sec xn)= 
  1.    sin(n−1)αcosx1 cosxn
  2.    sinnαcosx1 cosxn
  3.    sin (n - 1)α cos x1 cos xn
  4.    sin nα cosx1 cosxn
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> sin(n−1)αcosx1 cosxn
:
A
(a) We havesin α sec x1 sec x2 + sin α sec x2 sec x3 +....... + sin α sec xn1, sec xn)
=sin(x2x1)cosx1cosx2 +sin(x3x2)cosx2cosx3 + ........ +sin(xnxn1)cosxn1cosxn
= tan x2 -tan x1 +tan x3 -tan x2 + .......... +tan xn -tan xn
=tan xn -tan x1 =sin(xnxn1)cosxn1cosx1 = sin(n1)αcosxncosx1 {( xn = x1 + (n - 1)α)}
Question 36. Let n be a positive integer such that sin π2n + cos π2n = n2. Then
  1.    6 ≤ n ≤ 8
  2.    4 < n ≤ 8
  3.    4 ≤ n < 8
  4.    4 < n < 8
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 4 < n ≤ 8
:
B
(b)sin π2n + cosπ2n = n2
2 (sinπ2n.cosπ4+cosπ2n.sinπ4) =n2
2 sin(π4+π2n) =n2
Sincesin(π4+π2n)1
n2 2 2 22 n 8 .
Againn2 =2 sin(π4+π2n) > 2.12 = 1
(sin(π4+π2n)sinπ4)
n > 4, Hence, 4 < n 8.

Question 38. If tan θ = 32, the sum of the infinite series
 1 + 2(1 - cosθ) + 3(1 - cosθ)2 + 4(1 - cosθ)3+........ is
  1.    23
  2.    √34
  3.    52√2
  4.    52
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 52
:
D
(d)1 + 2(1 - cosθ) + 3(1 - cosθ)2 + 4(1 - cosθ)3+........ to
= (1 - x)1, [Let (1 - cosθ) = x]
Series = (1 - 1 + cosθ)2 = sec2θ
= (1 + tan2θ) = 1 + 32 = 52
Question 39. If   tan(AB)=1 , sec(A+B)=23, then the smallest positive value of B is,
  1.    2524π
  2.    1924π
  3.    1324π
  4.    1124π
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1924π
:
B
tan(A-B)=1
AB=(2n+1)π4
n=0 since question is the smallest value possible
AB=π4
A+B=2ππ6=11π6
Subtract both the equations
2B=11π6π4
2B=(223)π12
B=19π24
Question 40. 3[sin4(3π2α)+sin4(3π+α)][sin6(π2+α)+sin6(5πα)]
  1.    0
  2.    1
  3.    3
  4.    sin 4α + sin 6α
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1
:
B
(b) 3[sin4(3π2α)+sin4(3π+α)] - [sin6(π2+α)+sin6(5πα)]
=3(cosα)4+(sinα)42cos6α+sin6α
=3(cos2α+sin2α)22sin2αcos2α2(cos2α+sin2α)33sin2αcos2α(cos2α+sin2α)
=36sin2αcos2α2+6sin2αcos2α=32=1
Trick: Put α=0 , the value of expressions remains 1 i.e., it is independent of α
