MCQ 11 Mark
If for real values of $x,\cos \theta = x + \frac{1}{x},$ then
  • A
    $\theta $ is an acute angle
  • B
    $\theta $ is a right angle
  • C
    $\theta $ is an obtuse angle
  • No value of $\theta $ is possible
Answer
Correct option: D.
No value of $\theta $ is possible
d
(d) The quadratic equation is ${x^2} - x\cos \theta + 1 = 0$

But $x$ is real, therefore ${B^2} - 4AC \ge 0$

$ \Rightarrow {\cos ^2}\theta \ge 4(1)(1) \Rightarrow {\cos ^2}\theta \ge 4$, which is impossible.

The equation ${(a + b)^2} = 4ab\,{\sin ^2}\theta $ is possible only when
  • A
    $2a = b$
  • $a = b$
  • C
    $a = 2b$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: B.
$a = b$
b
(b) We have ${(a + b)^2} = 4ab{\sin ^2}\theta $

$ \Rightarrow {\sin ^2}\theta = \frac{{{{(a + b)}^2}}}{{4ab}} \le 1 $

$\Rightarrow {(a + b)^2} - 4ab \le 0$

$ \Rightarrow {(a - b)^2} \le 0 $

$\Rightarrow a = b.$

$(m + 2)\sin \theta + (2m - 1)\cos \theta = 2m + 1,$ if
  • A
    $\tan \theta = \frac{3}{4}$
  • $\tan \theta = \frac{4}{3}$
  • C
    $\tan \theta = \frac{{2m}}{{{m^2} + 1}}$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\tan \theta = \frac{4}{3}$
b
(b) Squaring the given relation and putting $\tan \theta = t,$

${(m + 2)^2}\,{t^2} + 2(m + 2)\,(2m - 1)t + {(2m - 1)^2} = {(2m + 1)^2}\,(1 + {t^2})$

$ \Rightarrow \,3\,(1 - {m^2})\,{t^2} + (4{m^2} + 6m - 4)\,t - 8m = 0$

$ \Rightarrow \,(3t - 4)\,[(1 - {m^2})\,t + 2m] = 0$,

which is true, if $t = \tan \theta = \frac{4}{3}$ or $\tan \theta = \frac{{2m}}{{{m^2} - 1}}$.

From $(i)$ and $(ii),$

$\,2\sec \theta = {e^x} + {e^{ - x}}\,$

$\Rightarrow \,\cos \theta = \frac{2}{{{e^x} + {e^{ - x}}}}.$

    $2\cos \theta $
  • D
    $ - \sqrt 2 \cos \theta $
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\sqrt 2 \cos \theta $
a
(a) We have $\cos \theta - \sin \theta = \sqrt 2 \,\sin \theta $

$ \Rightarrow \,\cos \theta = (\sqrt 2 + 1)\,\sin \theta \, $

$\Rightarrow \,(\sqrt 2 - 1)\cos \theta = \sin \theta $

$ \Rightarrow \,\sqrt 2 \,\cos \theta - \cos \theta = \sin \theta $

$\Rightarrow \,\sin \theta + \cos \theta = \sqrt 2 \,\cos \theta .$

Answer
Correct option: C.
$\tan \frac{A}{2}$
c
(c) $\frac{{1 + \sin A - \cos A}}{{1 + \sin A + \cos A}}$

$ = \frac{{2\,{{\sin }^2}\frac{A}{2} + 2\,\sin \frac{A}{2}\cos \frac{A}{2}}}{{2\,{{\cos }^2}\frac{A}{2} + 2\,\sin \frac{A}{2}\cos \frac{A}{2}}}$

$ = \frac{{2\,\,\sin \frac{A}{2}\,\left( {\sin \frac{A}{2} + \cos \frac{A}{2}} \right)}}{{2\,\,\cos \frac{A}{2}\,\left( {\cos \frac{A}{2} + \sin \frac{A}{2}} \right)}}$

$= \tan \frac{A}{2}$. 

Trick : Put $A = {60^o}.$ 

$\frac{{1 + (\sqrt 3 /2) - (1/2)}}{{1 + (\sqrt 3 /2) + (1/2)}} = \frac{{1 + \sqrt 3 }}{{3 + \sqrt 3 }} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}$ 

which is given by option $(c)$,

$i.e.$ $\tan \frac{{{{60}^o}}}{2} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}$

If $2y\,\cos \theta = x\sin \,\theta {\rm{ and }}2x\sec \theta - y\,{\rm{cosec}}\,\theta = 3,$ then ${x^2} + 4{y^2} = $
  • $4$
  • B
    $-4$
  • C
    $± 4$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: A.
$4$
a
(a) Given that $2y\,\,\cos \theta = x\,\sin \theta $…..$(i)$

and $2x\,\sec \theta - y\,\,{\rm{cosec}}\,\theta = 3$…..$(ii)$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,\frac{{2x}}{{\cos \theta }} - \frac{y}{{\sin \theta }} = 3$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,2x\,\sin \theta - y\,\cos \theta - 3\,\sin \theta \cos \theta = 0$…..$(iii)$

Solving $(i)$ and $(iii)$, 

we get $y = \sin \theta $ and $x = 2\,\,\cos \theta $

Now, ${x^2} + 4{y^2} = 4\,\,{\cos ^2}\theta + 4\,\,{\sin ^2}\theta $ 

$ = 4\,({\cos ^2}\theta + {\sin ^2}\theta ) = 4$.

  • A
    $x = \frac{{y + 1}}{{y - 1}}$
  • $x = \frac{{y - 1}}{{y + 1}}$
  • C
    $y = \frac{{1 - x}}{{1 + x}}$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: B.
$x = \frac{{y - 1}}{{y + 1}}$
b
(b) We have $xy = (\sec \phi- \tan \phi)\,\,{\rm{(cosec}}\,\,\phi+ \cot \,\,\phi)$ 

$ = \frac{{1 - \sin \,\phi}}{{\cos \,\phi}}\,.\,\frac{{1 + \cos \,\phi}}{{\sin \,\phi}}$ 

$ \Rightarrow \,xy + 1 = \frac{{1 - \sin \,\phi+ \cos \,\phi- \sin \,\phi\,\cos \,\phi+ \sin \phi \cos \phi}}{{\cos \phi\sin \phi}}$

$= \frac{{1 - \sin \,\phi+ \cos \,\phi}}{{\cos \,\phi\sin \,\phi}}$…..$(i)$ 

$x - y = (\sec \,\phi- \tan \,\phi) - (\cos ec\,\phi+ \cot \,\phi)$ $ = \frac{{1 - \sin \,\phi}}{{\cos \,\phi}} - \frac{{1 + \cos \,\phi}}{{\sin \,\phi}}$

$= \frac{{\sin \,\phi- {{\sin }^2}\phi- \cos \,\phi- {{\cos }^2}\phi}}{{\cos \,\phi\,\sin \,\phi}}$

$ = \frac{{\sin \,\phi - \cos \,\phi- 1}}{{\cos \,\phi \,\sin \,\phi}}$…..$(ii)$

Adding $(i)$ and $(ii)$ we get, $xy + 1 + (x - y) = 0$ 

$ \Rightarrow x = \frac{{y - 1}}{{y + 1}}$.

a
(a) Given that $\tan \theta = \frac{a}{b}$ 

and $\cos \,2\theta = \frac{{1 - {{\tan }^2}\theta }}{{1 + {{\tan }^2}\theta }} = \frac{{{b^2} - {a^2}}}{{{b^2} + {a^2}}}$

$\therefore $ $\sin \theta = \pm \frac{a}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }},\,\,\cos \,\theta = \pm \frac{b}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }}$

Now, $\frac{{\sin \,\theta }}{{\cos {\,^8}\theta }} + \frac{{\cos \,\theta }}{{{{\sin }^8}\theta }}$

$= \frac{{\left( {\frac{a}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right)}}{{{{\left( {\frac{b}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right)}^8}}} + \frac{{\left( {\frac{b}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right)}}{{{{\left( {\frac{a}{{\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right)}^8}}}$

  • A
    $-1$
  • B
    $±1$
  • $1$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: C.
$1$
c
(c) We have $x\,{\sin ^3}\alpha + y\,{\cos ^3}\alpha = \sin \,\alpha \,\cos \,\alpha $…..$(i)$

and $x\,\sin \,\alpha - y\,\cos \,\alpha = 0$…..$(ii)$

Now from $(ii)$, $x\,\sin \,\alpha = y\,\cos \,\alpha $

Putting in $(i),$ we get

$ \Rightarrow \,\,y\,\cos \alpha \,{\sin ^2}\alpha + y\,{\cos ^3}\alpha = \sin \,\alpha \,\cos \,\alpha $

$ \Rightarrow \,\,y\,\cos \alpha \,\left\{ {{{\sin }^2}\alpha + {{\cos }^2}\alpha } \right\} = \sin \,\alpha \,\cos \,\alpha $

$ \Rightarrow \,\,y\,\cos \,\alpha = \sin \,\alpha \,\cos \,\alpha \, $

$\Rightarrow \,\,y = \sin \,\alpha $ and $x = \cos \,\alpha $

Hence, ${x^2} + {y^2} = {\sin ^2}\alpha + {\cos ^2}\alpha = 1.$

    $2$
  • B
    $-4$
  • C
    $± 4$
  • $4$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$4$
d
(d) Given that $\tan \theta - \cot \theta = a$…..$(i)$

and $\sin \theta + \cos \theta = b$…..$(ii)$

Now ${({b^2} - 1)^2}({a^2} + 4)$

$ = {\left\{ {{{(\sin \theta + \cos \theta )}^2} - 1} \right\}^2}\left\{ {{{(\tan \theta - \cot \theta )}^2} + 4} \right\}$

$ = {[1 + \sin 2\theta - 1]^2}[{\tan ^2}\theta + {\cot ^2}\theta - 2 + 4]$

$ = {\sin ^2}2\theta ({\rm{cose}}{{\rm{c}}^2}\theta + {\sec ^2}\theta )$

$ = 4{\sin ^2}\theta {\cos ^2}\theta \left[ {\frac{1}{{{{\sin }^2}\theta }} + \frac{1}{{{{\cos }^2}\theta }}} \right] = 4$. 

Trick : Obviously the value of expression ${({b^2} - 1)^2}({a^2} + 4)$ is independent of $\theta $,

therefore put any suitable value of $\theta $.

Let $\theta = 45^\circ $, we get $a = 0,\;b = \sqrt 2 $

so that ${[{(\sqrt 2 )^2} - 1]^2}$ $({0^2} + 4) = 4.$

and $\cos 22\frac{{{1^o}}}{2} = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt {2 + \sqrt 2 } $

$\therefore \left( {1 + \cos 22\frac{{{1^o}}}{2}} \right)\,\left( {1 + \cos 67\frac{{{1^o}}}{2}} \right)\,\left( {1 + \cos 112\frac{{{1^o}}}{2}} \right)$

$\left( {1 + \cos 157\frac{{{1^o}}}{2}} \right)$

$ = \left( {1 + \frac{1}{2}\sqrt {2 + \sqrt 2 } } \right)\,\left( {1 + \frac{1}{2}\sqrt {2 - \sqrt 2 } } \right)\,\left( {1 - \frac{1}{2}\sqrt {2 - \sqrt 2 } } \right)\,$

$\left( {1 - \frac{1}{2}\sqrt {2 + \sqrt 2 } } \right)$

$ = \left[ {1 - \frac{1}{4}(2 + \sqrt 2 )} \right]\,\left[ {1 - \frac{1}{4}(2 - \sqrt 2 )} \right]$

$ = \frac{{(4 - 2 - \sqrt 2 )(4 - 2 + \sqrt 2 )}}{{16}}$

$ = \frac{{(2 - \sqrt 2 )(2 + \sqrt 2 )}}{{16}} = \frac{{4 - 2}}{{16}} = \frac{1}{8}$.

    $\theta + 2\phi = 60^\circ $
  • C
    $\theta + 2\phi = 30^\circ $
  • $\theta + 2\phi = 45^\circ $
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\theta + 2\phi = 45^\circ $
d
(d) Given, $\tan \theta = \frac{1}{7},\sin \phi = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {10} }}$

$\sin \theta = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {50} }},\,\,\cos \theta = \frac{7}{{\sqrt {50} }},\,\,\cos \phi = \frac{3}{{\sqrt {10} }}$

$\therefore \,\,\cos 2\phi  = 2{\cos ^2}\phi - 1 = 2.\frac{9}{{10}} - 1 = \frac{8}{{10}}$

$\sin 2\phi = 2\sin \phi \cos \phi = 2 \times .\frac{1}{{\sqrt {10} }} \times \frac{3}{{\sqrt {10} }} = \frac{6}{{10}}$

$\therefore \cos (\theta + 2\phi ) = \cos \theta \cos 2\phi - \sin \theta \sin 2\phi $

$ = \frac{7}{{\sqrt {50} }} \times \frac{8}{{10}} - \frac{1}{{\sqrt {50} }}.\frac{6}{{10}}$

$ = \frac{{56 - 6}}{{10\sqrt {50} }} = \frac{{50}}{{10\sqrt {50} }} = \frac{{5\sqrt 2 }}{{10}} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$

$\therefore \theta + 2\phi = {45^o}$.

  • A
    $7$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $9$
  • $9\frac{1}{2}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$9\frac{1}{2}$
d
(d) Given expression is

${\sin ^2}{5^o} + {\sin ^2}{10^o} + {\sin ^2}{15^o} + ..... + {\sin ^2}{85^o} + {\sin ^2}{90^o}.$

We know that $\sin {90^o} = 1$ or ${\sin ^2}{90^o} = 1$. 

Similarly, $\sin {45^o} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}{\rm{or}}\,{\rm{si}}{{\rm{n}}^{\rm{2}}}{45^o} = \frac{1}{2}$ 

and the angles are in $A.P. $ of $18$ terms. 

We also know that ${\sin ^2}{85^o} = {[\sin ({90^o} - {5^o})]^2}$$ = {\cos ^2}{5^o}.$ 

Therefore from the complementary rule, we find 

$\therefore$ ${\sin ^2}{5^o} + {\sin ^2}{85^o} = {\sin ^2}{5^o} + {\cos ^2}{5^o} = 1.$ 

Therefore, 

${\sin ^2}{5^o} + {\sin ^2}{10^o} + {\sin ^2}{15^o} + ... + {\sin ^2}{85^o} + {\sin ^2}{90^o}$ 

$ = (1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1) + 1 + \frac{1}{2} = 9\frac{1}{2}$.

  • $7/9$
  • B
    $2/9$
  • C
    $1/3$
  • D
    $2/3$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$7/9$
a
(a) $A + B + C = \pi $ 

$\therefore \,\,\,\tan \left( {\frac{{A + B}}{2}} \right) = \tan \left( {\frac{\pi }{2} - \frac{C}{2}} \right)$ 

==> $\frac{{\tan \frac{A}{2} + \tan \frac{B}{2}}}{{1 - \tan \frac{A}{2}.\tan \frac{B}{2}}} = \cot \frac{C}{2} $

$\Rightarrow \frac{{\frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3}}}{{1 - \frac{1}{3}.\frac{2}{3}}} = \frac{9}{7} = \cot \frac{C}{2}$ 

$\therefore  \,\,  \tan \frac{C}{2} = \frac{7}{9}$.

If $\sin x + \sin y = 3(\cos y - \cos x),$ then the value of $\frac{{\sin 3x}}{{\sin 3y}}$ is
  • A
    $1$
  • $-1$
  • C
    $0$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: B.
$-1$
b
(b) We have $\sin x + \sin y = 3\,(\cos y - \cos x)$

$ \Rightarrow \,\sin x + 3\cos x = 3\cos y - \sin y$…..$(i)$

$ \Rightarrow \,r\cos \,(x - \alpha ) = r\cos \,(y + \alpha ),$

where $r = \sqrt {10} ,\,\tan \alpha = \frac{1}{3}$

$ \Rightarrow \,x - \alpha = \pm (y + \alpha )\, $

$\Rightarrow \,x = - y$ or $x + y = 2\alpha $

Clearly, $x = - y$ satisfies $(i); $

$\therefore \;\frac{{\sin \,3x}}{{\sin \,3y}} = \frac{{ - \sin \,3y}}{{\sin \,3y}} = - 1$.

Correct option: D.
$\frac{{2\,CD}}{{{C^2} + {D^2}}}$

If $\sin \theta + \sin \varphi = a$ and $\cos \theta + \cos \phi = b,$ then $\tan \frac{{\theta - \phi }}{2}$ is equal to
  • A
    $\sqrt {\frac{{{a^2} + {b^2}}}{{4 - {a^2} - {b^2}}}} $
  • $\sqrt {\frac{{4 - {a^2} - {b^2}}}{{{a^2} + {b^2}}}} $
  • C
    $\sqrt {\frac{{{a^2} + {b^2}}}{{4 + {a^2} + {b^2}}}} $
  • D
    $\sqrt {\frac{{4 + {a^2} + {b^2}}}{{{a^2} + {b^2}}}} $
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\sqrt {\frac{{4 - {a^2} - {b^2}}}{{{a^2} + {b^2}}}} $
b
(b) Given that $\sin \theta + \sin \phi = a$…..$(i) $

and $\cos \theta + \cos \phi = b$…..$(ii)$

Squaring, ${\sin ^2}\theta + {\sin ^2}\phi + 2\sin \theta \sin \phi = {a^2}$

and ${\cos ^2}\theta + {\cos ^2}\phi + 2\cos \theta \cos \phi = {b^2}$

Adding, $2+ 2 $$(\sin \theta \sin \phi + \cos \theta \cos \phi ) = {a^2} + {b^2}$

==>$2\cos (\theta - \phi ) = {a^2} + {b^2} - 2$

==> $\cos (\theta - \phi ) = \frac{{{a^2} + {b^2} - 2}}{2}$

$ \Rightarrow \frac{{1 - {{\tan }^2}\frac{{\theta - \phi }}{2}}}{{1 + {{\tan }^2}\frac{{\theta - \varphi }}{2}}} = \frac{{{a^2} + {b^2} - 2}}{2}$

==> $({a^2} + {b^2}) + ({a^2} + {b^2}){\tan ^2}\frac{{\theta - \phi }}{2} - 2 - 2{\tan ^2}\frac{{\theta - \phi }}{2}$

$ = 2 - 2{\tan ^2}\frac{{\theta - \varphi }}{2}$

==>$\frac{{4 - {a^2} - {b^2}}}{{{a^2} + {b^2}}} = {\tan ^2}\frac{{\theta - \phi }}{2}$

==> $\tan \frac{{(\theta - \phi )}}{2} = \sqrt {\frac{{4 - {a^2} - {b^2}}}{{{a^2} + {b^2}}}} $

Trick : Put $\theta = \frac{\pi }{2},\phi = {0^o}$, then $a = 1 = b$

$\tan \frac{{\theta - \phi }}{2} = 1$, which is given by $(a)$ and $(b).$

Again putting $\theta = \frac{\pi }{4} = \phi $,

we get $\tan \frac{{\theta - \phi }}{2} = 0$, which is given by $(b).$

  • $0$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $-1$
  • D
    $2$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$0$

(a) Since $\sin x + {\sin ^2}x = 1$,
$ \Rightarrow \sin x = 1 - {\sin ^2}x = {\cos ^2}x$.....$(i)$
The given expression is
$ = {\cos ^6}x({\cos ^6}x + 3{\cos ^4}x + 3{\cos ^2}x + 1) - 1$
$ = {\cos ^6}x{({\cos ^2}x + 1)^3} - 1$,
$ = {({\sin ^2}x + \sin x)^3} - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0$.
