A.M. G.M.
9tan2θ+4cot2θ2 4cot2θ.9tan2θ
9tan2θ+4cot2θ 12
Therefore, the minimum value is 12.
Question 2. If tan A = -
12 and tan B = - 
13, then A + B = 
[IIT 1967; MNR 1987; MP PET 1989]
  1.    π4
  2.    3π4
  3.    5π4
  4.    None of these

Answer: Option B. -> 3π4
:
B
We have tan A = -
12 and tan B = -
13
Now, tan(A + B) =
tanA+tanB1tanAtanB =
1213112.13 = -1
tan(A + B) = tan
3π4. Hence, A + B =
3π4.
Question 3. cos248sin212=
 
  1.    √5−14
  2.    √5+18
  3.    √3−14
  4.    √3+12√2

Answer: Option B. -> √5+18
:
B
cos2Asin2B= cos(A + B). Cos(A - B)
cos248sin212=cos60.cos36
=12(5+14)=5+18
Question 4. If x +  1x = 2cosθ, then x31x3
  1.    cos3θ
  2.    2cos3θ
  3.    12cos3θ
  4.    13cos3θ
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2cos3θ
:
B
We have x + 1x = 2cosθ,
Now x3 + 1x3 = (x+1x)3 - 3x1x(x+1x)
= (2cosθ)33(2cosθ)=8cos3θ6cosθ
=2(4cos3θ3cosθ)=2cos3θ.
Trick:Put x = 1 θ=0.
Then x3 + 1x3 = 2 = 2cos3θ.
Question 5. If tanθsinαcosαsinα+cosα, then sinα+cosα and
sinαcosα must be equal to
 
  1.    √2cosθ,√2sinθ
  2.    √2sinθ,√2cosθ
  3.    √2sinθ,√2sinθ
  4.    √2cosθ,√2cosθ
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> √2cosθ,√2sinθ
:
A
We have tanθ = sinαcosαsinα+cosα
tanθ = sin(απ4)cos(απ4) tanθ = tan(απ4)
θ = α - π4 α = θ + π4
Hence, sinα+cosα = sin(θ+π4)+cos(θ+π4)
= 2cosθ
And sinαcosα = sin(θ+π4) - cos(θ+π4)
= 12 sinθ + 12 cosθ - 12 cosθ + 12 sinθ
= 22 sinθ = 2sinθ=2sinθ.
Question 6. The maximum value of cos2(π3x)cos2(π3+x) is
  1.    - √32
  2.    12
  3.    √32
  4.    32
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> √32
:
C
cos2(π3x) -cos2(π3+x)
= {cos(π3x)+cos(π3+x)} {cos(π3x)cos(π3+x)}
= {2cosπ3cosx}{2sinπ3sinx}
= sin 2π3 sin 2x =32 sin 2x
Its maximum value is32, {- 1 sin 2x 1}.
Question 7. If tan 
A2

Answer: Option D. -> 49
:
D
Given that tan
A2 =
32.
1+cosA1cosA =
2cos2A22sin2A2 = cot2A2 = (23)2 =
49
Question 8. The value of sin25+sin210+sin215+..............
+sin285+sin290 is equal to
  1.    7
  2.    8
  3.    9
  4.    192
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 192
:
D
Given expression is
sin25+sin210+sin215+..............+sin285+sin290.
We know that sin90=1orsin290=1
Similarly, sin45=12 or sin245=12 and the angles are in A.P. of 18 terms. We also know that
sin285=[sin(905)]2=cos25.
Therefore from the complementary rule, we find sin25+sin285=sin25+cos25=1
Therefore,
sin25+sin210+sin215+.............+sin285+sin290
=(1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1)+1+12=912.
Question 9. If secθ = 54, then tan θ2
  1.    13
  2.    34
  3.    14
  4.    19
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 13
:
A
Given that secθ = 54
secθ = 1+tan2(θ2)1tan2(θ2) 54 = 1+tan2(θ2)1tan2(θ2)
55tan2(θ2)=4+4tan2(θ2)
9tan2(θ2) = 1 tan(θ2) = 13.
Question 10. If A + B = 225, then  cotA1+cotA. cotB1+cotB =
  1.    1
  2.    -1
  3.    0
  4.    12
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 12
:
D
cotA1+cotA. cotB1+cotB = 1(1+tanA)(1+tanB)
= 1tanA+tanB+1+tanAtanB
[ ∵ tan(A + B) = tan225]
tanA + tan B = 1 - tan A tan B
= 11tanAtanB+1+tanAtanB = 12.
