A.
1
B.
1√2
C.
13
D.
12
SOLUTION
Solution : D
Let α=cos−1√p:β=cos−1√1−p
and γ=cos−1√1−q
or
cos α=√p:cos β=√1−p
and cos γ=√1−q.
Therefore sin α=√1−p,sin β=√p and sin γ=√q.
The given equation may be written as α+β+γ=3π4
or, α+β=3π4−γ
or, cos(α+β)=cos(3π4−γ)
⇒cos α cos β−sin α sin β = cos{π−(π4+γ)}=−cos(π4+γ)
⇒√p√1−p−√1−p√p =−(1√2√1−q−1√2.√q)
⇒0=√1−q−√q⇒1−q=q⇒q=12
Question 9

A.
tan2(α2)
B.
cot2(α2)
C.
tan α
D.
cot(α2)
SOLUTION
Solution : A
tan−1[1√cosα]−tan−1[√cosα]=x
⇒tan−1⎡⎢⎣1√cosα−√cosα1+√cosα√cosα⎤⎥⎦=x⇒tan x=1−cosα2√cosα
∴sinx=1−cosα1+cosα=2sin2α22cos2α2=tan2(α2).
Question 10
If tan−1(x)+tan−1(y)+tan−1(z)=π, then 1xy+1yz+1zx=
A.
0
B.
1
C.
1xyz
D.

SOLUTION
Solution : B
tan−1(x)+tan−1(y)+tan−1(z)=π
⇒tan−1x+tan−1y=π−tan−1z
⇒x+y1−xy=−z⇒x+y=−z+xyz
⇒x+y+z=xyz
Dividing by xyz, we get
1yz+1xz+1xy=1.
