= b (a sec θ) − a (b tan θ)
2 2 2 2 2 2
= b a sec θ − a b tan θ

1. 1
2. 0
3. -1
4. 1 + √3

Ans: 2. 0
Solution:
We are given that 5θ and 4θ are acute angles satisfying the following condition
sin 5θ = cos 4θ

We are asked to find 2 sin 3θ − √3 tan 3θ

⇒ sin 5θ = cos 4θ
∘
⇒ cos(90 − 5θ) = cos 4θ
∘
⇒ 90 − 5θ = 4θ
θ
⇒ 9θ = 90

Where 5θ and 4θ are acute angles

∘
⇒ θ = 10

Now we have to find:

2 sin 3θ − √3 tan 3θ
∘ ∘
= 2 sin 30 − √3 tan 30
1 1
= 2 × − √3 ×
2 √3

Solution:
a cos θ − b sin θ = c

Squaring,
2 2 2 2 2
a cos θ + b sin θ − 2ab sin θ cos θ = c

2 2 2 2 2
⇒ a (1 − sin θ) + b (1 − cos θ) − 2ab sin θ cos θ = c

2 2 2 2 2 2
⇒ a − a sin θ + b (1 − cos θ) − 2ab sin θ cos θ = c

2 2 2 2 2 2 2
⇒ − a sin θ − b cos θ − 2ab sin θ cos θ = c − a − b

2 2 2 2 2 2
⇒ a sin θ + b cos θ + 2ab sin θ cos θ = a + b − c (Dividing by − 1)

2 2 2 2
(a sin θ + b cos θ) = a + b − c

2
a sin θ + b cos θ = ±√a

5 2 tan θ

We know that: cos θ = Base

Hypotenuse

We know that:
⇒ Base = 3

⇒ Hypotenuse = 5

⇒ Perpendicular = √(Hypotenuse) − (Base)

⇒ Perpendicular = √25 − 9

⇒ Perpendicular = 4

sin A = sin A = cos A + cos A

Ans: 1. 1
Solution:
Given that: sin θ = cos(2θ − 45 ∘
) and θ and 2θ − 45 are acute angles
We have to find tan θ
∘
⇒ sin θ = cos(2θ − 45 )
∘ ∘
⇒ cos(90 − θ) = cos(2θ − 45 )
∘ ∘
⇒ 90 − θ = 2θ − 45

Where θ and 2θ − 45 are acute angles ∘

Since θ = 45 ∘

Now
tan θ

3. n2 - m2
4. m2 + n2

Ans: 4. m2 + n2
Solution:
a cos θ + b sin θ = m

a sin θ − b cos θ = n

Squaring and adding

2 2 2 2 2
a cos θ + b sin θ + 2ab sin θ cos θ = m

2 2 2 2 2
a sin θ + b cos θ − 2ab sin θ cos θ = n

2 2 2 2 2 2
a (cos θ + sin θ) + b (sin θ + cos θ)

2 2 2 2
= m + n {sin θ + cos θ = 1}

2 2 2 2

4. z2 + y2 - x2 = r2
Ans: 1. x2 + y2 + z2 = r2
Solution:
x = r sin θ cos ϕ

y = r sin θ sin ϕ

z = r cos θ

Squaring and adding these equations, we get

2 2 2 2 2 2
x + y + z = (r sin θ cos ϕ) + (r sin θ sin ϕ) + (r cos θ)

2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
⇒ x + y + z = r sin θ cos ϕ + r sin θ sin ϕ + r cos θ

2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
⇒ x + y + z = (r sin θ cos ϕ + r sin θ sin ϕ) + r cos θ

2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
⇒ x + y + z = r sin θ(cos ϕ + sin ϕ) + r cos θ

2 2 2 2 2 2 2
⇒ x + y + z = r sin θ(1) + r cos θ

2 2 2 2 2 2 2
⇒ x + y + z = r sin θ + r cos θ

2 2 2 2 2 2
⇒ x + y + z = r (sin θ + cos θ)

2 2 2 2
⇒ x + y + z = r (1)

2 2 2 2
⇒ x + y + z = r

Hence, the correct option is (A).

4. None of these.

Ans: 3. 25
Solution:
 Given,
a cos θ + b sin θ = 4,

a sin θ − b cos θ = 3

Squaring and then adding the above two equations, we have

2 2 2 2
(a cos θ + b sin θ) + (a sin θ − b cos θ) = (4) + (3)

2 2 2 2
⇒ (a cos θ + b sin θ) + 2 × a cos θ × sin θ)

2 2 2 2
= (a sin θ + b cos θ − 2a sin θ × b cos θ) = 16 + 9

2 2 2 2
⇒ a cos θ + b sin θ + 2ab sin θ cos θ

2 2 2 2
= a sin θ + b cos θ − 2ab sin θ cos θ = 25

2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
⇒ a cos θ + b sin θ + a sin θ + b cos θ = 25

2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
⇒ (a cos θ + a sin θ) + (b sin θ + b cos θ) = 25

2 2 2 2 2 2
⇒ a (cos θ + sin θ) + b (sin θ + cos θ) = 25

2 2
⇒ a (1) + b (1) = 25

2 2
⇒ a + b = 25

Hence, the correct option is (C).
