Question 1. Cos 1 × cos 2 × cos 3 ×……..× cos 180 is equal to:
  1.    1
  2.    0
  3.    12
  4.    -1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 0
:
B
We know that, cos90=0
The given expression
cos1 × cos2 × cos3 ×....× cos90 ×……..× cos180 reduces to zero as it containscos90 which is equal to 0.
Question 2. Find the value of  1tan2 301+tan2 30.
  1.    0.5
  2.    1
  3.    2
  4.    4

Answer: Option A. -> 0.5
:
A
We know thattan30=13.
1tan2301+tan230=1(13)21+(13)2
=1(13)1+(13)
=313+1
=24 = 12=0.5

:
3sinθcosθ+cosθsinθ =5sinθ
3sin2θ+cos2θsinθcosθ=5sinθ
3sin2θ+cos2θ=5cosθ
3(1 -cos2θ) +cos2θ = 5cosθ
2cos2θ + 5cosθ - 3 = 0
2cosθ[cosθ + 3] - 1(cosθ + 3) = 0
(cosθ + 3) (2cosθ - 1) = 0
cosθ= -3 or cosθ = 12
Note that cosθ= -3 is not possible as1cosθ1
Thus, θ = 60
Question 4. If x=a sec A cos B, y=b sec A sin B and z=c tan A, then x2a2+y2b2z2c2=
  1.    0
  2.    3
  3.    2
  4.    1

Answer: Option D. -> 1
:
D
x=asec Acos Bxa=sec Acos B
y=bsec Asin Byb=sec Asin B
z=ctan Azc=tan A
Squaring each of the equations we get,
x2a2=sec2Acos2B,y2b2=sec2Asin2B,z2c2=tan2A
x2a2+y2b2z2c2=sec2Acos2B+sec2Asin2Btan2A
=sec2A(cos2B+sin2B)tan2A
=sec2Atan2A(cos2B+sin2B=1)
=1(sec2Atan2A=1)
Question 5. (sinA+cosecA)2(sinAcosecA)2=
  1.    0
  2.    1
  3.    2
  4.    4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 4
:
D
(sinA+cosec A)2(sinAcosec A)2

=4sinAcosec A
as[(a+b)2(ab)2=4ab]
now, (sinA×cosec A=sinA×1sinA=1)
4.sinAcosec A=4×1=4
Question 6. If  x=a sec θ+b tan θ and y=a tan θ+b sec θ, then x2y2a2b2= ___
  1.    2
  2.    1
  3.    0
  4.    - 1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1
:
B
x=asecθ+btanθ,y=atanθ+bsecθ
Squaring both sides we get,
x2=(asecθ+btanθ)2,y2=(atanθ+bsecθ)2
x2=a2sec2θ+2absecθtanθ+b2tan2θy2=a2tan2θ+2absecθtanθ+b2sec2θ–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Subtracting,x2y2=a2(sec2θtan2θ)+b2(tan2θsec2θ)
x2y2=a2(sec2θtan2θ)b2(sec2θtan2θ)
x2y2=a2b2(sec2θtan2θ=1)
x2y2a2b2=1
Question 7. tan2 θ(sec θ1)2=
  1.    1+sin θ1−sin θ
  2.    1
  3.    tan θ
  4.    1+cos θ1−cos θ
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 1+cos θ1−cos θ
:
D
tan2θ(secθ1)2=sec2θ1(secθ1)2
=(secθ1)(secθ+1)(secθ1)(secθ1)
=1cosθ+11cosθ1
=1+cosθcosθ1cosθcosθ
=1+cosθ1cosθ
Question 8. sinAsinBcosA+cosB+cosAcosBsinA+sinB=
  1.    - 1
  2.    0
  3.    1
  4.    2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 0
:
B
sinAsinBcosA+cosB+cosAcosBsinA+sinB
= (sinAsinB)(sinA+sinB)+(cosAcosB)(cosA+cosB)(cosA+cosB)(sinA+sinB)
=sin2Asin2B+cos2Acos2B(cosA+cosB)(sinA+sinB)
= sin2A+cos2A(sin2B+cos2B)(cosA+cosB)(sinA+sinB)
= 11(cosA+cosB)(sinA+sinB)
= 0
Question 9. 11+tan2θ+11+cot2θ=
  1.    -1
  2.    0
  3.    1
  4.    2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1
:
C
We know that,1+tan2θ=sec2θand1+cot2θ=cosec2θ
11+tan2θ+11+cot2θ=1sec2θ+1cosec2θ
=cos2θ+sin2θ
=1
Question 10. (sec A+tan A1)(sec Atan A+1)tan A=
  1.    0
  2.    tan A
  3.    1
  4.    2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 2
:
D
(sec A+tan A1)(sec Atan A+1)tan A
=[sec A+(tan A1)][sec A(tan A1)]tan A
=sec2A(tan A1)2tan A
=sec2A(tan2A2tan A+1)tan A
=sec2Atan2A+2tan A1tan A
=1+2tan A1tan A(1+tan2A=sec2A)
=2tan Atan A
