Question 1
Find the value of 1−tan2 30∘1+tan2 30∘.
0.5
1
2
4
SOLUTION
Solution : A
We know that tan 30∘=1√3.
⇒1−tan2 30∘1+tan2 30∘=1−(1√3)21+(1√3)2
=1−(13)1+(13)
=3−13+1
=24 = 12=0.5
Question 2
(1+tanθ1+cotθ)2 = ____ .
1
tanθ
4
SOLUTION
Solution : 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 3
3tanθ + cotθ = 5cosecθ. Solve for θ, 0≤θ≤90.
SOLUTION
Solution :3sinθcosθ + cosθsinθ = 5sinθ
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 −1≤cosθ≤1
Thus, θ = 60∘
Question 4
Which of the following options is/are equal to tan2A+cot2A+2 ?
1cos2A sin2A
sec2A cosec2A
tan2Acot2A
sec2A+cosec2A
SOLUTION
Solution : 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 5
Which of the following options are equal to cos2A−sin2A ?
1−2 sin2A
−2 sin2A
2 cos2A
2 cos2A−1
SOLUTION
Solution : A and D
We know that, sin2A+cos2A=1.
1) cos2A−sin2A=(1−sin2A)−sin2A
=1−2 sin2A
2) cos2A−sin2A=cos2A−(1−cos2A)
=cos2A−1+cos2A
=2 cos2A−1
Question 6
If A, B, C are the angles of a triangle, then
sin(B+C2)=
cotA2
cosA2
sinA2
tanA2
SOLUTION
Solution : B
A+B+C=180∘
(sum of angles of a triangle)
⟹B+C=180∘−A
∴B+C2=180∘−A2
B+C2=90∘−A2
Taking sine on both sides we get,
sin(B+C2)=sin(90∘−A2)
∴sin(B+C2)=cosA2
Question 7
sin A−2 sin3A2 cos3A−cos A=
secA
cotA
tanA
1
SOLUTION
Solution : C
sin A−2 sin3A2 cos3A−cos A=sin A(1−2 sin2A)cos A(2 cos2A−1)
=sin A(sin2A+cos2A−2 sin2A)cos A(2 cos2A−(sin2A+cos2A))
=sin A(cos2A−sin2A)cosA(cos2A−sin2A)
=tan A
Question 8
Which of the following options is equal to sin θ+1−cos θcos θ−1+sin θ?
cosθ1−sin θ
1+sinθcosθ
1+sinθ1−sinθ
tanθ+secθ
SOLUTION
Solution : A, B, and D
sinθ+1−cosθcosθ−1+sinθ
Dividing the numerator and denominator by cos θ we get,
sinθcosθ+1cos θ−cosθcosθcosθcosθ−1cosθ+sinθcosθ
=tanθ+secθ−11−secθ+tanθ
⇒(tanθ+secθ)−(sec2θ−tan2θ)1−secθ+tanθ....(1+tan2θ=sec2θ)
=(tanθ+secθ)−(secθ−tanθ)(secθ+tanθ)1−secθ+tanθ
=(tanθ+secθ)(1−secθ+tanθ)(1−secθ+tanθ)
=tanθ+secθ
=sinθcosθ+1cosθ
=sinθ+1cosθ
[Multiplying the numerator and denominator by (1−sinθ)]
=1+sinθcosθ×1−sinθ1−sinθ
=1−sin2θcosθ(1−sinθ)
=cos2θcosθ(1−sinθ)
=cosθ1−sinθ
Question 9
1+sin(90∘−θ)−cos2(90∘−θ)cos(90∘−θ) [1+sin(90∘−θ)]=
cot θ
tan θ
1
0
SOLUTION
Solution : A
1+sin(90∘−θ)−cos2(90∘−θ)cos(90∘−θ)[1+sin(90∘−θ)]
=1+cos θ−sin2 θsin θ(1+cos θ)
=(1−sin2 θ)+cos θsin θ(1+cos θ)
=cos2 θ+cos θsin θ(1+cos θ)
=cos θ(cos θ+1)sin θ(1+cos θ)=cot θ

=√tan2 θ+2+cot2 θ
=√tan2 θ+2(tan θ)(cot θ)+cot2 θ……(tan θ cot θ=1)
=√(tan θ+cot θ)2
=tan θ+cot θ
=sin θcos θ+cos θsin θ
=sin2 θ+cos2 θsin θ cos θ
=1sinθcosθ
=cosec θ sec θ
