MCQ
If $\tan^245^\circ-\cos^230^\circ=\text{x}\sin45^\circ\cos45^\circ,$ then $x =$
  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $-2$
  • C
    $-\frac{1}{2}$
  • $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{1}{2}$
We have,
$\tan^245^\circ-\cos^230^\circ$
$=\text{x}\sin45^\circ\cos45^\circ\dots(1)$
Put the values in $(1)$
$\Rightarrow(1)^2-\Big(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\Big)^2$
$=\text{x}\times\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\times\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\Rightarrow1-\frac{3}{4}=\text{x}\times\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{4}=\frac{\text{x}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}$
Thus, $\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}$
Hence the correct option is $(d)$
