Solution
1. a.
Explanation: Given:
And
2. c. 1
Explanation: cot A tan A =1
3. b.
Explanation: Given:
Since A and B are acute angles, then
4. d.
Explanation: In right Ld triangle ABC rt Ld at B
Sin A
Cos A
Then
= =
L.H.S = R.H.S
Therefore = tan A is true.
5. b. 0°
Explanation: When A = 0o
Hence, the correct option is (A) = 0o
6. cos 83o - sec 76o = cos (90o - 7o) - sec (90o - 14o)
= (sin 7o - cosec 14o).
7. We have,
LHS = cos4A - cos2A
LHS = cos2A (cos2A - 1)
LHS = -cos2A (1 - cos2A)
LHS = -cos2A sin2A = -(1 - sin2A)sin2 A = -sin2A + sin4A
LHS = sin4A - sin2A = RHS
8. We have,
LHS = cos 1° cos2° cos3°...cos 180°
= cos1° cos2° cos3°... cos89° cos90° cos 91°... cos180°
= cos1°cos2°cos3°... cos 89° 0 cos 91° ...cos180° = 0 = RHS
9. We have,
[ ]
10. Given,
cosec(90o - 5A) = cosec(A + 30o) [ ]
Therefore,
11. LHS = sin(50o + ) - cos (40o - ) + tan 1o tan 10o tan 20o tan 70o tan 80o tan 89o
= [ sin (90o - (40 - ))] - cos (40 - ) + tan (90o - 89o) tan (90o - 80o) tan (90o - 70o) tan
70o tan 80o tan 89o
= cos (40o - ) - cos (40o - ) + cot 89o cot 80o cot 70o
12. To prove : sin6 A + cos6 A = 1 - 3 sin2 A cos2 A
LHS = sin6 A + cos6 A
= (sin2 A)3 + (cos2 A)3
= (sin2 A + cos2 A)3 - 3sin2 A . cos2 A(sin2 A + cos2 A) [ a3 + b3 = (a + b)3 - 3ab(a + b)]
= 13 - 3sin2 A . cos2 A 1
= 1 - 3sin2 A . cos2 A
= RHS.
Hence proved.
13. We have,
therefore,
R.H.S =
and, L.H.S =
L.H.S = R.H.S
i.e,
14. Given,
sin 3 = cos ( - 6°)
cos (90° - 3 ) = cos ( - 6°)
90° - 3 = -6°
4 = 90° + 6° = 96°
15. We have to prove that, using identity
LHS = [ dividing the numerator and denominator by
.]
[ Multiplying and dividing by
[ ]
[ ]
= RHS
Hence Proved.
16. Take ,
LHS = 2(sin6 + cos6 ) - 3 (sin4 + cos4 ) + 1
LHS = 2 {(sin2 )3 + (cos2 )3} - 3 {(sin2 )2+ (cos2 )2} + 1
Using a3 + b3 = (a + b)3 - 3ab (a + b) and a2 + b2 = (a +b)2 - 2ab in above expression,
where a = sin2 & b =cos2 ; we get :-
LHS = 2 {(sin2 + cos2 )3 - 3 sin2 cos2 (sin2 + cos2 )} -3 {(sin2 + cos2 )2 - 2 sin2
cos2 } + 1
LHS = 2 (1 - 3sin2 cos2 ) - 3 (1 - 2sin2 cos2 ) + 1 [Since, sin2A + cos2A = 1]
LHS = 2 - 6 sin2 cos2 - 3 + 6 sin2 cos2 + 1
Hence, L.H.S. = 0 = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.
17. We know that,
cos50° = cos (90°-40)° = sin 40°
cosec2 59° = cosec2 (90° - 31°) = sec2 31°
and tan 78° = tan (90° -12°) = cot 12°
Now,
18. First, we need to solve given equation in parts
sin 90° = 1
tan 5°tan 35°tan 60°tan 55°tan 85°
= tan (90° - 85°) tan (90° - 55°) tan 55°tan 60°tan 85°
= cot 85°tan 85°cot 55°tan 55°.
Given Expression = 1 - 1 - 1+
Therefore, - 1 is the answer.
19. Given, tan =
In ABC, AC2= AB2 + BC2 = 1 + 5 = 6
AC =
i.
ii. LHS =
= 1 = R.H.S
20. Let us draw a right triangle ABC in which
where k is a positive number.
By using the Pythagoras theorem, we have
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
Therefore,
