Question 1.


Minimum value of 5sin2θ+4cos2θ is


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

Let f(θ) = 5sin2θ+4cos2θ = 4+sin2θ


f(θ) 4 + 0                         (sin2θ0


∴  The minimum value of f(θ) is 4.


Question 2.


The maximum value of 3cos θ - 4 sinθ is


  1.     3
  2.     4
  3.     5
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 5
:
C

Let 3 = rcosα, 4 = rsinα, so r = 5


f(θ) = r.(cosαcosθ+sinαsinθ) =  5.cos(θα)


∴ The maximum value of f(θ) = 5.1 = 5.


{Since the maximum value of cos(θα) = 1}.


Aliter:  As we know that, the maximum value of asinθ+bcosθ is +a2+b2 and the minimum value


is -a2+b2. Therefore, the maximum value is (3cosθ+4sinθ) = + 32+(4)2 = 5 and the minimum value is -5.


Question 3.


The value of a cos θ + b sin θ lies between


  1.     a-b and a+b
  2.     a and b
  3.     -(a2+b2) And (a2+b2)
  4.     -a2+b2 And a2+b2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> -a2+b2 And a2+b2
:
D

a cos θ + b sin θ = a2+b2 (acosθa2+b2+bsinθa2+b2)


                                                  =  a2+b2 sin(θ+ϕ)


Since, 1sin(θ+ϕ)  1,


Then -a2+b2   sin(θ+ϕ)  a2+b2.


Question 4.


If cos3θ = αcosθ+βcos3θ, then (α,β)


  1.     (3,4)
  2.     (4,3)
  3.     (-3,4)
  4.     (3,-4)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> (-3,4)
:
C

Given that cos3θ=αcosθ+βcos3θ


But cos3θ=4cos3θ3cosθ (α,β) = (-3, 4).


Question 5.


If sinA=sinB and cosA=cosB, then


  1.     sin AB2 = 0
  2.     sin A+B2 = 0
  3.     cosAB2 = 0
  4.     cos (A + B) = 0
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> sin AB2 = 0
:
A

We have sin A = sin B and cos A = cos B


2cos(A+B2)sin(AB2)=0,2sin(A+B2)sin(AB2)=0


Hence, sin(AB2) = 0.


Question 6.


1tan3AtanA1cot3AcotA


  1.     tanA
  2.     tan2A
  3.     cotA
  4.     cot2A
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> cot2A
:
D

1tan3AtanA1cot3AcotA 


1tan3AtanAtanAtan3Atan3AtanA = 1tan2A = cot 2A.


Question 7.


If sinA =  110 and sinB =  15, where A and B are positive acute angles, then A+B=


  1.     π
  2.     π2
  3.     π3
  4.     π4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> π4
:
D

We know that sin(A + B) = sinA cosB + cosA sinB


110115151110


1104515910 =  150(2 + 3) =  550 =  12


sin(A + B) = sin π4


Hence, A + B = π4.


Question 8.


cosec A - 2cot 2A cos A = 


  1.     2sinA
  2.     secA
  3.     2cosAcotA
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 2sinA
:
A

cosec A - 2 cot 2A cos A = 
1sinA
2cosAcos2Asin2A



1sinA
2cosAcos2A2sinAcosA
1cos2AsinA
2sin2AsinA


= 2sin A.


Question 9.


(cosα+cosβ)2+(sinα+sinβ)2


  1.     4cos2  αβ2
  2.     4sin2  αβ2
  3.     4cos2  α+β2
  4.     4sin2  α+β2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 4cos2  αβ2
:
A

(cosα+cosβ)2+(sinα+sinβ)2


= cos2α+cos2β+2cosαcosβ+sin2α+sin2β+2sinαsinβ


= 2(1+cos(αβ))  = 4cos2(αβ2).


Question 10.


If tan A=2tanB+cotB, then 2tan(A-B)=


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

2 tan(A - B) = 2(tanAtanB1+tanAtanB)


= 2 
(2tanB+cotBtanB)1+(2tanB+cotB)tanB = 2
tanB+cotB2(1+tan2B)



cotB(tan2B+1)(1+tan2B) = cot B.
