Question 31.


11+tan2θ+11+cot2θ=


  1.     -1
  2.     0
  3.     1
  4.     2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1
:
C

We know that,1+tan2θ=sec2θ and 1+cot2θ=cosec2θ
11+tan2θ+11+cot2θ=1sec2θ+1cosec2θ
=cos2θ + sin2θ


=1


Question 32.


(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


=4sinA cosec A 
as [(a+b)2(ab)2=4ab]


now, (sin A×cosec A=sinA×1sinA=1)
4.sinA cosec A=4×1=4


Question 33.


Find the value of  1tan2 301+tan2 30.


  1.     0.5
  2.     1
  3.     2
  4.     4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 0.5
:
A

We know that tan 30=13.


1tan2 301+tan2 30=1(13)21+(13)2


=1(13)1+(13)


=313+1


=24 = 12=0.5 


Question 34.


(1+tanθ1+cotθ)2 = ____ .


  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

Answer: Option C. -> tan2θ
:

3sinθcosθ + cosθsinθ5sinθ
3sin2θ + cos2θsinθcosθ=5sinθ
3sin2θ+cos2θ=5cosθ
3(1 - cos2θ) + cos2θ = 5 cosθ
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 as 1cosθ1                     
 Thus, θ = 60


Question 36.


Which of the following options is/are equal to tan2A+cot2A+2 ?


  1.     1cos2A sin2A
  2.     sec2A cosec2A
  3.     tan2Acot2A
  4.     sec2A+cosec2A
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> tan2Acot2A
:
A, B, and D

tan2A+cot2A+2 can be written as (1+tan2A)+(1+cot2A)
We know that, 1+tan2A=sec2A and 1+cot2A=cosec2A
tan2A+cot2A+2=sec2A+cosec2A


=1cos2A+1sin2A


=sin2A+cos2Acos2A sin2A...(sin2A+cos2A=1)


=1cos2A sin2A


=sec2A cosec2A


Question 37.


Which of the following options are equal to cos2Asin2A ?


  1.     12 sin2A
  2.     2 sin2A
  3.     2 cos2A
  4.     2 cos2A1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 12 sin2A
:
A and D

We know that, sin2A+cos2A=1.
 1) cos2Asin2A=(1sin2A)sin2A
=12 sin2A
2) cos2Asin2A=cos2A(1cos2A)
=cos2A1+cos2A
=2 cos2A1


Question 38.


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 sine on both sides we get,
sin(B+C2)=sin(90A2)
sin(B+C2)=cosA2


Question 39.


Which of the following options is equal to sin θ+1cos θcos θ1+sin θ? 


  1.     cosθ1sin θ
  2.     1+sinθcosθ
  3.     1+sinθ1sinθ
  4.     tanθ+secθ
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1+sinθcosθ
:
A, B, and D

sinθ+1cosθcosθ1+sinθ
Dividing the numerator and denominator by cos θ we get,
sinθcosθ+1cos θcosθcosθcosθcosθ1cosθ+sinθcosθ
=tanθ+secθ11secθ+tanθ
(tanθ+secθ)(sec2θtan2θ)1secθ+tanθ....(1+tan2θ=sec2θ)
=(tanθ+secθ)(secθtanθ)(secθ+tanθ)1secθ+tanθ
=(tanθ+secθ)(1secθ+tanθ)(1secθ+tanθ)
=tanθ+secθ
=sinθcosθ+1cosθ
=sinθ+1cosθ
[Multiplying the numerator and denominator by (1sinθ)]
=1+sinθcosθ×1sinθ1sinθ
=1sin2θcosθ(1sinθ)
=cos2θcosθ(1sinθ)
=cosθ1sinθ


Question 40.


sin A2 sin3A2 cos3Acos A=


  1.     secA
  2.     cotA
  3.     tanA
  4.     1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> tanA
:
C

sin A2 sin3A2 cos3Acos A=sin A(12 sin2A)cos A(2 cos2A1)
=sin A(sin2A+cos2A2 sin2A)cos A(2 cos2A(sin2A+cos2A))
=sin A(cos2Asin2A)cosA(cos2Asin2A)
=tan A
