Answer: Option C. -> 4
$$\eqalign{
& x\sin {60^ \circ }.\tan {30^ \circ } = \sec {60^ \circ }.\cot {45^ \circ } \cr
& {\text{Put values }} \cr
& \Rightarrow x.\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}.\frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }} = 2.1 \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{x}{2} = 2 \cr
& \Rightarrow x = 4 \cr} $$
Question 382. If $$\frac{{2{{\tan }^2}{{30}^ \circ }}}{{1 - {{\tan }^2}{{30}^ \circ }}}$$   + $${\sec ^2}{45^ \circ }$$  - $${\sec ^2}{0^ \circ }$$  = $$x\sec {60^ \circ }{\text{,}}$$   then the value of x is?

Answer: Option B. -> 1
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{2{{\tan }^2}{{30}^ \circ }}}{{1 - {{\tan }^2}{{30}^ \circ }}} + {\sec ^2}{45^ \circ } - {\sec ^2}{0^ \circ } = x\sec {60^ \circ } \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{2 \times {{\left( {\frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}} \right)}^2}}}{{1 - {{\left( {\frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}} \right)}^2}}} + {\left( {\sqrt 2 } \right)^2} - 1 = x \times 2 \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{2 \times \frac{1}{3}}}{{1 - \frac{1}{3}}} + 2 - 1 = 2x \cr
& \Rightarrow \left( {\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{2}} \right) + 2 - 1 = 2x \cr
& \Rightarrow 2 = x \times 2 \cr
& \Rightarrow x = 1 \cr} $$
Question 383. If xsin60°.tan30° - tan245° = cosec60°.cot30° - sec245° then x = ?

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 2
$${\text{ }}x\sin {60^ \circ }.\tan {30^ \circ } - \tan^2 {45^ \circ } = $$       $$\operatorname{cosec} {60^ \circ }.$$   $$\cot {30^ \circ } - $$   $${\sec ^2}{45^ \circ }$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow x \times \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2} \times \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }} - 1 = \frac{2}{{\sqrt 3 }} \times \sqrt 3 - {\left( {\sqrt 2 } \right)^2} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{x}{2} - 1 = 2 - 2 \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{x}{2} - 1 = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{x}{2} = 1 \cr
& \Rightarrow x = 2 \cr} $$

Answer: Option C. -> $$\sqrt 2 $$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{tan}}\theta - \cot \theta = 0 \cr
& {\bf{Shortcut\,\, method:}} \cr
& {\text{Put }}\theta = {45^ \circ } \cr
& {\text{tan }}{45^ \circ } - \cot {45^ \circ } = 0 \cr

& \Rightarrow \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)}^2} + 4{{\left( {\frac{2}{{\sqrt 3 }}} \right)}^2} - 1}}{1} \cr
& \left( {{{\sin }^2}{\text{A}} + {{\cos }^2}{\text{A}} = {\text{1}}} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{4} + \frac{{4 \times 4}}{3} - 1 \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{4} + \frac{{16}}{3} - 1 \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{3 + 64 - 12}}{{12}} \cr

& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\left[ {\frac{{1 + 2 + 1 - 2\sqrt 2 }}{{2 - \sqrt 2 }}} \right] \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\left[ {\frac{{4 - 2\sqrt 2 }}{{2 - \sqrt 2 }}} \right] \cr
