Q.3: Solve the following equation and find the value of \theta.
3 cot\theta + tan \theta -2\sqrt3 = 0,0 <\theta < 90^o
(A) 60o
(B) 30o
(C) 15o
(D) 45o

Show Answer
Ans : (A) 60o
3 cot\theta + tan \theta -2\sqrt3 = 0
Put \theta = 60 its satisfy
3 x cot60 + tan60 -2 \sqrt{3}
3\times\frac{1}{\sqrt3} +\sqrt3 - 2\sqrt3
\frac{3}{\sqrt3} +\sqrt3 - 2\sqrt3
\frac{6}{\sqrt3} -2\sqrt3
\frac {6-6}{\sqrt3} = \frac{0}{\sqrt3} = 0
so \theta = 60

Q.5: If tanx = cot(48o + 2x), and 0o <x <90o , then what is the value of x ?
(A) 14o
(B 12o
(C) 21o
(D) 16o

Show Answer
Ans : (A) 14o
tan x = cot (48 + 2x)
tanx = tan (90 – (48 + 2x)
x = 90 -(48 + 2x)
x = 90 – 48 – 2x
3x = 42
x = 14

Q.6: If 7 sin^2\theta + 3cos^2\theta = 4,0^o <\theta <90^o , then the value of \theta will be:
(A) 45o
(B) 30o
(C) 60o
(D) 75o

Show Answer
Ans : (B) 30o
7 sin^2\theta + 3cos^2\theta = 4
4 sin^2\theta + 3sin^2\theta +3cos^2\theta= 4
4 sin^2\theta + 3(sin^2 \theta + cos^2\theta)= 4
4sin^2\theta + 3\times1 = 4
4sin^2\theta = 4 - 3 = 1
sin^2\theta =\frac 14
sin\theta =\frac 12
\theta = 30^o

Q.7: Find the value of \theta , If sec2 sec^2\theta +(1 -\sqrt3)tan\theta -(1 +\sqrt3)=0, where \theta is an acute angle.
(A) 30o
(B) 15o
(C) 60o
(D) 45o

Show Answer
Ans : (C) 60o
sec^2\theta +(1 -\sqrt3) tan\theta -(1 +\sqrt3) =0
put \theta = 60^o (By option)
sec^2(60) + (1 -\sqrt3) tan 60 - (1 +\sqrt3)
4 +(1 - \sqrt3) \sqrt3 - (1 + \sqrt3)
4 +\sqrt3 - 3 - 1 -\sqrt3
4 – 4 = 0
So \theta = 60

Q.8: If cos\theta =\frac{7}{3\sqrt6} and \theta is an acute angle, then the value of 27 sin^2\theta -\frac 32 is:
(A) 15
(B) 12
(C) 1
(D) 9

Show Answer
Ans : (C) 1

Q.10: If sin\theta + cosec \theta = 7 , then what is the value of sin^3\theta + cosec^3\theta ?
(A) 322
(B) 382
(C) 367
(D) 350

Show Answer
Ans : (A) 322
sin\theta + cosec \theta = 7
(sin\theta + cosec \theta)^3 = 7^3
sin^3\theta + cosec^3 \theta +3sin\theta cosec\theta\times7 = 343
sin^3\theta + cosec^3 \theta +3\times7 = 343 [Sin\theta\times Cosec\theta = 1]
sin^3\theta + cosec^3\theta = 343 - 21 = 322

Ans : (A) \frac{\sqrt7}{2}

Q.12: What is the value of \frac{cos^220^o + cos^270^o}{sin^290^o} -tan^245^o ?
(A) -1
(B) 0
(C) -2
(D) 1

Show Answer
Ans : (B) 0
\frac{cos^220^o + cos^270^o}{sin^290^o} -tan^245^o
\frac{1}{1} -1 [Cos220 + Cos270 = 1, tan 45 = 1]
= 0

(A) 1
(B) \frac{\sqrt3}{2}
(C) \frac 12
(D) \frac{1}{\sqrt2}

Show Answer
Ans : (D) \frac{1}{\sqrt2}
Sin A = Sin B
A = B = 45 Satisfy
Cos A = Cos 45
= \frac{1}{\sqrt2}

(A) \frac{\sqrt{41}}{4}
(B) \frac{\sqrt{41}}{16}
(C) \frac{\sqrt{41}}{5}
(D) \frac35

Q.16: The value of \frac{Cos 8^o Cos 24^o Cos 60^o Cos 66^o Cos 82^o}{Sin 82^o Sin 66^o Sin 60^o Sin 8^o Sin 24^o} is:
(A) \frac{1}{\sqrt2}
(B) \frac{1}{\sqrt3}
(C) 1
(D) 0

Show Answer
Ans : (B) \frac{1}{\sqrt3}
Cos 8o Cos 82o = 1
Cos 24o Cos 60o = 1
Sin 82o Sin 8o = 1
Sin 66o Sin 24o = 1
so \frac{Cos 66^o}{Sin 60^o}
Cot 60=\frac{1}{\sqrt3}

Q.17: If Sin B =\frac{9}{41} , then what is the value of Cot B, where 0o <B<90o ?
