SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Trigonometry - 1 - Question 1

If cosec2θ = sec(3θ – 15°), then θ is equal to:    (SSC CGL-2018)

Detailed Solution: Question 1

sec (3θ - 15°) = cosec 2θ
sin 2θ = cos (3θ - 15°)
cos (90° - 2θ) = cos (3θ -15°)
90° - 2θ = 3θ - 15°
5θ = 90° + 15°
θ = 21°

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Trigonometry - 1 - Question 2

The value of sin2 32° + sin258° – sin30° + sec260° is equal to:    (SSC CGL-2018)

Detailed Solution: Question 2

sin2 32° + sin2 58° - sin 30° + sec2 60°

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Trigonometry - 1 - Question 3

    (SSC CGL-2018)

Detailed Solution: Question 3

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Trigonometry - 1 - Question 4

The value of sin238° + sin252° + sin230° – tan245° is equal to:      (SSC CGL-2018)

Detailed Solution: Question 4

sin238° + sin252° + sin230° – tan245°

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Trigonometry - 1 - Question 5

If sec 4θ = cosec(θ + 20°), then θ is equal to:    (SSC CGL-2018)

Detailed Solution: Question 5


sin (θ + 20°) = cos 4θ
sin (θ + 20°) = sin (90° – 4θ)
θ + 20 = 9° – 4θ
θ + 20° = 90° – 4θ

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Trigonometry - 1 - Question 6

    (SSC CGL-2018)

Detailed Solution: Question 6

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Trigonometry - 1 - Question 7

It is given that,    (SSC CGL-2018)

Detailed Solution: Question 7


sec x – tan x = a – tan x
∴ a = sec x.

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Trigonometry - 1 - Question 8

For α and β both being acute angles, it is given that sin (α + β) = 1, cos (α – β) = 1/2. The values of a and b are :       (SSC CHSL-2018)

Detailed Solution: Question 8

sin (α + β) = 1 = sin 90°
∴ α + β = 90° ...(i)

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Trigonometry - 1 - Question 9

 If θ = 9º, then what is the value of cot θ cot 2 θ cot 3 θ cot 4 θ cot 5 θ cot 6 θ  cot 7 θ cot 8 θ cot 9 θ?    (SSC CHSL-2018)

Detailed Solution: Question 9

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Trigonometry - 1 - Question 10

From the top of a 12 m high building, the angle of elevation of the top of a tower is 60° and the angle of depression of the foot of the tower is q, such that tan q = 3/4. What is the height of the tower ( 3 = 1.73)?    (SSC Sub. Ins. 2018)

Detailed Solution: Question 10


Let AB is the height of the building and CD is the height of the tower.
Angle of elevation ∠DAE = 60 ° and angle of depression ∠CAE = θ

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Trigonometry - 1 - Question 11

If tan 3x = cot (30° + 2x), then what is the value of x?     (SSC Sub. Ins. 2018)

Detailed Solution: Question 11

tan 3x = cot (30° + 2x)
cot(90° – 3x) = cot(30° + 2x)
90° – 3x = 30° + 2x
60° = 2x + 3x ⇒ 5x = 60°
x = 12°

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Trigonometry - 1 - Question 12

    (SSC Sub. Ins. 2018)

Detailed Solution: Question 12

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Trigonometry - 1 - Question 13

A ladder leaning against a wall makes an angle q with the horizontal ground such that sin θ = 12/13. If the foot of the ladder is 7.5 m from the wall, then what is the height of the point where the top of the ladder touches the wait?    (SSC Sub. Ins. 2018)

Detailed Solution: Question 13


Let AC is a ladder and AB is the height of the wall.

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Trigonometry - 1 - Question 14

If θ + φ = 2/3 π and cos θ = √3/2, then what is the value of sin φ?    (SSC  Sub. Ins. 2017)

Detailed Solution: Question 14

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Trigonometry - 1 - Question 15

 then what is the value of x?    (SSC  Sub. Ins. 2017)

Detailed Solution: Question 15


SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Trigonometry - 1 - Question 16

If sin (θ + 23°) = cos 58°, then what is the value of cos 5 θ?    (SSC  Sub. Ins. 2017)

Detailed Solution: Question 16

sin(θ + 23°) = cos 58°
sin (θ + 23°) = sin (90° – 58°)
sin (θ + 23°) = sin 32°
θ + 23° = 32°
θ = 32° – 23° = 9°
cos 58 = cos (5 × 9°) = cos 45° = 1/2

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Trigonometry - 1 - Question 17

If sec θ + cosec θ = √2 sec (90 – θ) then what is the value of cot θ?    (SSC  Sub. Ins. 2017)

Detailed Solution: Question 17
