 SinA = 1/√10 , SinB= 1/√5  If A and B are both acute angles,then , A+B=?
  • a)
    300
  • b)
    750
  • c)
    600
  • d)
    450
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Riya Banerjee answered
We know that:
Sin θ = Opposite / Hypotenuse
∴ SinA = 1/√10
CosA= 3/√10
similarly, SinB = 1/√5
CosB= 2/√5
Multiply:
Cos(A+B)= CosA x CosB - SinA x SinB
Substituting the value in above equation we get:
= 3/√10 x 2/√5 - 1/√10 x 1/√5
= 6/√50 - 1/√50
= 6-1/5√2. ........(√50=5√2)
= 1/ √2
we know that, sin 45 = 1/ √ 2 therefore
sinθ / cosθ = 45

Lavanya Menon answered
L.H.S. = sin(60+A)cos(30−B)+cos(60+A)sin(30−B)        
= sin[(60+A)+(30−B)]            (Using, sin(A+B)sinAcosB+cosAsinB)            
= sin(90+A−B)            
= sin(90+(A−B))            
= cos(A−B)            (Using, sin(90+θ)=cosθ)       = R.H.S.Hence Proved.

Cos(π/4-x)cos (π/4-y) - sin (π/4-x) sin(π/4-y)
= CosA*Cos B - Sin A*Sin B
= Cos (A+B)
= cos(π/4-x+π/4-y)
= cos(π/2-x-y)
= cos{π/2 - (x+y)}
= sin(x+y)

Gaurav Kumar answered
The general solution of the given question is theta= 2nπ± π/6 but it is mentioned that they are lies between -π to π. So when we put n=0 we get theta =±π/6. And when we put n= 1 we get theta does not lies between -π to ÷π. So we get only two values of theta.

Pooja Shah answered
Two results are possible as π/6 & 5π/6 comes by subtracting π/6from π, In general we have Sin∆=nπ+(-1)^n(A) here A is π/6 and by putting different values of n in integer 2 values can be obtained

Which of the following is correct:

    nπ, where n is an integer
  • c)
  • d)
    π
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Joshi answered
sinθ = 0
⇒ sin-1 θ = 0,π,2π,...
⇒ θ = 0 + nπ → n∈Z
 The general solution for sin x = 0 will be, x = nπ, where n∈I.

    b2 = a x c
  • c)
    a = b = c
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Hansa Sharma answered
cos A + 2 cos B + cos C = 2
⇒ cos A + cos C = 2(1 – cos B)
2 cos((A + C)/2) × cos((A-C)/2 = 4 sin²(B/2)
2 sin(B/2) cos((A-C)/2) = 4 sin² (B/2) 
cos((A-C)/2) = 2 sin (B/2)
cos((A-C)/2) = 2 cos((A+C)/2)
cos((A-C)/2) – cos((A+C)/2) = cos((A+C)/2)
2 sin(A/2) sin(C/2) = sin(B/2)
⇒ 2 {√(s-b)(s-c)√bc} × {√(s-a)(s-b)√ab} = √(s-a)(s-c)√ac
2(s – b) = b
a + b + c – 2b = b
a + c – b = b
a + c = 2b

In a triangle ABC, tan A/2 = 5/6, tan B/2 = 20/37, then tan C/2 is equal to:
  • a)
    2/5
  • b)
    100/222
  • c)
    34/37
  • d)
    5/2
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Given:
tan(A/2) = 5/6
tan(B/2) = 20/37

To find:
tan(C/2)

Solution:

Since we know the values of tan(A/2) and tan(B/2), we can use the following formula to find tan(C/2):

tan(C/2) = [ tan(A/2) + tan(B/2) ] / [ 1 - tan(A/2) * tan(B/2) ]

Substituting the given values, we get:

tan(C/2) = [ 5/6 + 20/37 ] / [ 1 - (5/6) * (20/37) ]

Simplifying the above expression, we get:

tan(C/2) = [ (185 + 120) / (6 * 37) ] / [ (37 - 20) / (6 * 37) ]

tan(C/2) = (305/222) / (17/222)

tan(C/2) = 305/17

This is not equal to option 'A', which is 2/5. Therefore, the correct answer is not given in the options.

However, we can check whether tan(C/2) = 2/5 by solving the triangle.

Using the formula for the sum of angles in a triangle, we have:

A + B + C = 180

Substituting the values of A and B, we get:

(180 - C) + 2 * atan[(5/6)/(1 + (5/6)^2)] + 2 * atan[(20/37)/(1 + (20/37)^2)] = 180

Simplifying the above expression, we get:

C - atan(25/36) - atan(40/9) = 0

Using the identity tan(x - y) = (tan(x) - tan(y)) / (1 + tan(x) * tan(y)), we can simplify the above expression to:

C - atan[(25/36) * (9/40)] = atan(25/36) + atan(40/9)

C - atan(15/64) = atan(25/36) + atan(40/9)

Using the identity tan(x + y) = (tan(x) + tan(y)) / (1 - tan(x) * tan(y)), we can further simplify the above expression to:

C = atan[(25/36 + 40/9) / (1 - (25/36) * (40/9))] + atan(15/64)

C = atan(305/222) + atan(15/64)

Now, using the identity tan(x + y) = (tan(x) + tan(y)) / (1 - tan(x) * tan(y)), we can find tan(C):

tan(C) = (305/222 + 15/64) / (1 - (305/222) * (15/64))

tan(C) = 2/5

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A', which is 2/5.

If acos x + bsin x = c, then the value of (asin x – bcos x)²  is:
  • a)
    a² + b² + c²
  • b)
    a² - b² - c²
  • c)
    a² - b² + c²
  • d)
    a² + b² - c²
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Iyer answered
(acos x + bsin x)² + (asin x – bcos x)² = a² + b²
⇒ c² + (asin x – bcos x)² = a² + b²
⇒ (asin x – bcos x)² = a² + b² – c²

 If tan x = tan α , then the general solution of the equation is
  • a)
    nπ – α
  • b)
    2nπ- α
  • c)
    nπ + α
  • d)
    2nπ + α
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Anand Sen answered
If tan x = tan y, then x and y are either equal or they differ by an integer multiple of pi.

In other words, if two angles have the same tangent value, then they are either equal or they are "coterminal" angles, which means they differ by a multiple of 180 degrees or pi radians.

In a triangle ABC, cosec A (sin B cos C + cos B sin C) equals:
  • a)
    c/a
  • b)
    a/c
  • c)
    1
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Sharma answered
cosec A (sin B cos C + cos B sin C)= cosec A × sin(B+C)
= cosec A × sin(180 – A)
= cosec A × sin A
= cosec A × 1/cosec A
= 1

If 3 × tan(x – 15) = tan(x + 15), then the value of x is:
  • a)
    30º
  • b)
    45º
  • c)
    60º
  • d)
    90º
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Nandini Iyer answered
3 × tan (x – 15) = tan (x + 15)
⇒ tan(x + 15) / tan(x – 15) = 3/1
⇒ {tan (x + 15) + tan (x – 15)} / {tan (x + 15) – tan (x – 15)} = (3 + 1) / (3 – 1)
⇒ {tan (x + 15) + tan (x – 15)} / {tan (x + 15) – tan (x – 15)} = 2
⇒ sin(x + 15 + x – 15) / sin(x + 15 – x + 15) = 2
⇒ sin 2x / sin 30 = 2
⇒ sin 2x / (1/2) = 2
⇒ 2 × sin 2x = 2
⇒ sin 2x = 1
⇒ sin 2x = sin 90
⇒ 2x = 90
⇒ x = 45

tan(π + x)=
  • a)
    -tan x
  • b)
    tan π + tan x
  • c)
    0
  • d)
    tan x
