Answer: Option C. -> 2 sec2 A
:
C
(1+tanA)2+(1tanA)2
=(1+tan2A+2tanA)+(1+tan2A2tanA)
=(2+2tan2A+2tanA2tanA)
=(2+2tan2A)
=2(1+tan2A)
=2sec2A

=sec17cosec(9017)+tan68cot(9068)[cos244+cos2(9044)]
=sec17sec17+tan68tan68[cos244+sin244]....(complementary angles)
=1+11
=1

  1.    1
  2.    tanθ
  3.    tan2θ
  4.    4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> tan2θ
:
C
The given expression is
(1+tanθ1+cotθ)2=(1+tanθ1+1tanθ)2
=(1+tanθtanθ+1tanθ)2
=((tanθ)(1+tanθ)tanθ+1)2
=tan2θ
Question 14. sin A2 sin3A2 cos3Acos A=
  1.    secA
  2.    cotA
  3.    tanA
  4.    1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> tanA
:
C
sinA2sin3A2cos3AcosA=sinA(12sin2A)cosA(2cos2A1)
=sinA(sin2A+cos2A2sin2A)cosA(2cos2A(sin2A+cos2A))
=sinA(cos2Asin2A)cosA(cos2Asin2A)
=tanA
Question 15. 1+sin(90θ)cos2(90θ)cos(90θ) [1+sin(90θ)]=
  1.    cot θ
  2.    tan θ
  3.    1
  4.    0
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> cot θ
:
A
1+sin(90θ)cos2(90θ)cos(90θ)[1+sin(90θ)]
=1+cosθsin2θsinθ(1+cosθ)
=(1sin2θ)+cosθsinθ(1+cosθ)
=cos2θ+cosθsinθ(1+cosθ)
=cosθ(cosθ+1)sinθ(1+cosθ)=cotθ
Question 16. If A, B, C are the angles of a triangle, then 
sin(B+C2)= ___.
  1.    cotA2
  2.    cosA2
  3.    sinA2
  4.    tanA2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> cosA2
:
B
A+B+C=180
(sum of angles of a triangle)
B+C=180A
B+C2=180A2
B+C2=90A2
Taking sineon both sides we get,
sin(B+C2)=sin(90A2)
sin(B+C2)=cosA2
Question 17. If x=a cosec θ and y=b cot θ, then which of the following equations is true ?
  1.    x2−y2=a2−b2
  2.    x2a2−y2b2=1
  3.    x2+y2=a2+b2
  4.    x2a2+y2b2=1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> x2a2−y2b2=1
:
B
x=acosecθxa=cosecθ.....(1)
y=bcotθyb=cotθ.....(2)
Squaring the equations and subtracting (2) from (1) we get,
x2a2y2b2=cosec2θcot2θ
x2a2y2b2=1....(1+cot2θ=cosec2θ)
Question 18. (1+tanA tanB)2+(tanA  tanB)2sec2A sec2B= ___
  1.    1
  2.    -tan A
  3.    2
  4.    cot A

Answer: Option A. -> 1
:
A
(1+tan A tan B)2+(tan A-tan B)2sec2Asec2B
=1+2tan A tan B+tan2Atan2B+tan2A2tan A tan B+tan2Bsec2Asec2B
=1+tan2Atan2B+tan2A+tan2Bsec2Asec2B
=1+tan2A+tan2B+tan2Atan2Bsec2Asec2B
=1(1+tan2A)+tan2B(1+tan2A)sec2Asec2B
=(1+tan2A)(1+tan2B)sec2Asec2B
=(sec2A)(sec2B)sec2Asec2B.(1+tan2θ=sec2θ)
=1
Question 19. If cos 3θ=32, 0° < 3θ < 90°, then find the value of θ.
  1.    15° 
  2.    10°
  3.    0°
  4.    12°
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 10°
:
B
Given: cos3θ=32
We know that cos30=32
Comparing the two we get,
3θ=30.... (given0 < 3θ < 90)
θ=10

  2.    tan6 θ−3 tan2 θ sec2 θ+1
  3.    tan6 θ−1
  4.    tan6 θ+1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> tan6 θ+3 tan2 θ sec2 θ+1
:
A
sec6θ=(sec2θ)3
=(tan2θ+1)3(1+tan2θ=sec2θ)
=tan6θ+3tan4θ+3tan2θ+1
=tan6θ+3tan2θ(tan2θ)+3tan2θ+1
=tan6θ+3tan2θ(sec2θ1)+3tan2θ+1
=tan6θ+3tan2θsec2θ3tan2θ+3tan2θ+1
