CAT Practice Test: Week 21 - Question 1
Save

If cot (x + 27°) = tan y, then which of the following equations is true?  

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 21 - Question 1

cot (90 - θ) = tan θ
So, tan y = cot (90° - y)
Hence, cot (x + 27°) = cot (90° - y)
x + 27° = 90° - y
x + y = 90° - 27° = 63°

The value of cos 24° + cos 55° + cos 125° + cos 204° + cos 300° is

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 21 - Question 3

The value of cos 24° + cos 55° + cos 125° + cos 204° + cos 300° ?
We know that, cos(180° ± θ) = - cosθ
⇒ cos 24° + cos 55° + cos(180° - 55°) + cos(180° + 24°) + cos(360° - 60°)
= cos 24° + cos 55° - cos 55° - cos 24° + cos 60°
= cos 60° = 1/2

CAT Practice Test: Week 21 - Question 4
Save

Solve the equation 2 sin2 x + 3 cos x = 0.
Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 21 - Question 4

2 sin2 x + 3 cos x = 0
⇒ 2(1 - cos2 x) + 3 cos x = 0
⇒ 2 - 2 cos2 x + 3 cos x = 0
⇒ 2 cos2 x - 3 cos x - 2 = 0
⇒ 2 cos2 x - 4 cos x + cos x - 2 = 0
⇒ 2 cos x(cos x - 2) + 1(cos x - 2) = 0
⇒ (cos x - 2)(2 cos x + 1) = 0
Either cos x - 2 = 0 or 2 cos x + 1 = 0
But cos x - 2 = 0
i.e. cos x = 2, which is not possible.
Now, from 2 cos x + 1 = 0, we get:
cos x = -1/2

Therefore, general solution of the equation is:

Find the value of cos2 15° - cos2 30° + cos2 45° - cos2 60° + cos2 75°.
Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 21 - Question 5

cos2 15° - cos2 30° + cos2 45° - cos2 60° + cos2 75° = (cos2 15° + cos2 75°) - (cos2 30° + cos2 60°) + cos2 45°
= [cos2 15° + cos2 (90° - 15°)] - [cos2 30° + cos2 (90° - 30°)] + cos2 45°
= [cos2 15° + sin2 15°] - [cos2 30° + sin2 30°] + cos2 45° [∵ cos (90° - θ) = sin θ]

Two pillars of equal height stand on either side of a road, which is 150 m wide. At a point on the road between the pillars, the angles of elevation of their tops are 60° and 30°. Find the height of the pillars.
Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 21 - Question 6

Let AB and CD be the two pillars of equal height 'h' m.
If P is the point between them, then
∠APB = 60° and ∠CPD = 30°

Let BP = x m
⇒ PD = (150 - x) m
In ΔABP, tan 60° = 
⇒ h = √3x … (1)

⇒ 3x = 150 - x or 4x = 150
∴ x = 37.5 and h = √3x = (1.732)37.5 = 64.95 m

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 21 - Question 7

cosθ = 2 cos2θ

secθ = 2
secθ = sec 60°
θ = 60°
2 sec2θ – cos2θ + tan2θ = 2 sec2 60° - cos2 60° + tan2 60° =

The angle of elevation of a cloud from a point 60 m above a lake is 30° and the angle of depression of its image in lake is 60°. The height of the cloud is
Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 21 - Question 9

Let A be the point of observation and C be the position of the cloud. Let DE be the surface of the lake and C' be the reflection of C in the lake.
∠CAB = 30°
And ∠C'AB = 60°
Let BC = h m

In right-angled ΔABC, BC/AB = tan 30°


In right-angled ΔABC',

h = 60 m
Height of cloud = 120 m

CAT Practice Test: Week 21 - Question 10

Solve for the number of solution of the equation: sin(x) + cos(x) = 1 on the interval 0° ≤ x < 360°.  
Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 21 - Question 10

sin(x) + cos(x) = 1
Squaring both side,
(sin(x) + cos(x))2 = 12
[sin2(x) + cos2(x)] + 2sin(x)cos(x) = 1 (Using identity: (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab)
1 + 2sin(x)cos(x) = 1
2sin(x)cos(x) = 0
sin(x)cos(x) = 0
From the last line above, either sine is zero or cosine is zero, so solutions are:
x = 0°, 90°, 180°, 270°
Checking the value of 'x' in the above equation,
x = 0°, 90° satisfies.
x = 180° and 270° does not satisfies.
Hence, total number of solution = 2
