  • D
    $-\frac{\pi}{15}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$-\frac{11 \pi}{30}$
a
$\frac{\cos x}{1+\sin x}=|\tan 2 x|$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\cos ^{2} x / 2-\sin ^{2} x / 2}{(\cos x / 2+\sin x / 2)}=|\tan 2 x|$

$\Rightarrow \tan ^{2}\left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{x}{2}\right)=\tan ^{2} 2 x$

$\Rightarrow 2 x=n \pi \pm\left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{x}{2}\right)$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{-3 \pi}{10}, \frac{-\pi}{6}, \frac{\pi}{10}$

$\text { or sum }=\frac{-11 \pi}{30}$

If $0 \le x \le \pi $ and ${81^{{{\sin }^2}x}} + {81^{{{\cos }^2}x}} = 30$, then $x =$
  • $\pi /6$
  • B
    $\pi /2$
  • C
    $\pi /4$
  • D
    $3\pi /4$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\pi /6$
a
(a) We have, ${81^{{{\sin }^2}x}} + {81^{{{\cos }^2}x}} = 30$

Now check by options, put $x = \frac{\pi }{6}$

then ${(81)^{{{\sin }^2}\pi /6}} + {(81)^{{{\cos }^2}\pi /6}} = 30$

==> ${(81)^{1/4}} + {(81)^{3/4}} = 30$

Hence $(a)$ is the correct answer.

d
$e ^{\left(\cos ^{2} \theta+\cos ^{4} \theta+\ldots . . \infty\right) \ell n ^{2}}=2^{\cos ^{2} \theta+\cos ^{4} \theta+\ldots \infty}$

$=2^{\cot ^{2} \theta}$

Now $t^{2}-9 t+9=0 \Rightarrow t=1,8$

$\Rightarrow \quad 2^{\cot ^{2} \theta}=1,8 \Rightarrow \cot ^{2} \theta=0,3$

$0<\theta<\frac{\pi}{2} \Rightarrow \cot \theta=\sqrt{3}$

$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{2 \sin \theta}{\sin \theta+\sqrt{3} \sin \theta}=\frac{2}{1+\sqrt{3} \cot \theta}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{{13}}{9}$
a
$8 \cos x\left\{\cos \left(\frac{\pi}{6}+x\right) \cdot \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{6}-x\right)-\frac{1}{2}\right\}=1$

$\Rightarrow 4 \cos x\left\{2 \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{6}+x\right) \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{6}-x\right)-1\right\}=1$

$\Rightarrow 4 \cos x\left\{\cos 2 x+\cos \frac{\pi}{3}-1\right\}=1$

$\Rightarrow 4 \cos x\left\{\cos 2 x-\frac{1}{2}\right\}=1$

$\Rightarrow 4 \cos x\left\{2 \cos ^{2} x-1-\frac{1}{2}\right\}=1$

$\Rightarrow 8 \cos ^{3} x-6 \cos x=1$

$\Rightarrow 2\left(4 \cos ^{3} x-3 \cos x\right)=1$

$ \cos 3 x=\frac{1}{2}$

$\cos 3x = \cos {60^\circ },\cos {30^\circ },\cos {420^\circ }$

$x{\text{ }} = {20^\circ },{100^\circ },{140^\circ }$

${20^\circ } + {100^\circ } + {140^\circ }{\text{ }} = k\pi $

$ \Rightarrow {260^\circ } = k\left( {{{180}^\circ }} \right)$

Given $\sin \,3x\, = \,\cos 2x$

$ \Rightarrow {\kern 1pt} \sin \,3x\, = \,\sin \,(\pi /2 - 2x)$

We now that $\sin A = \sin B$

$ \Rightarrow \,A\, = \,n\pi  + {( - )^n}B,$ where  $n$ is an integer

Using the above identity , we get

$3x = n\pi \, + \,{( - 1)^n}(\pi /2 - 2x)$

$n = 1,\,\,x = \pi  - \pi /2\, \Rightarrow \,x\, = \,\pi /2 \notin \,(\pi /2,\pi )$

$n = 2,\,\,x = \pi /2\, \notin \,\,(\pi /2,\pi )$

$n = 3,\,\,x = 5\pi /2\, \notin \,\,(\pi /2,\pi )$

$n = 4,\,\,x = 9\pi /10\, \notin \,\,(\pi /2,\pi )$

$n = 5,\,\,x = 9\pi /2 = \pi \, \notin \,\,(\pi /2,\pi )$

  • B
    $-2 + \sqrt 3 $
  • $-2 - \sqrt 3 $
  • D
    $-4 - 2\sqrt 3 $
Answer
Correct option: C.
$-2 - \sqrt 3 $
c
since the given determinant is equal to zera

$\Rightarrow 0(0-\cos x \sin x)-\cos x\left(0-\cos ^{2} x\right)$

$-\sin x\left(\sin ^{2} x-0\right)=0$

$\Rightarrow \cos ^{3} x-\sin ^{3} x=0$

$\Rightarrow \tan ^{3}=1 \Rightarrow \tan x=1$

$\therefore \quad \sum_{x \in s} \tan \left(\frac{\pi}{3}+x\right)=\sum_{x \in s} \frac{\tan \pi / 3+\tan x}{1-\tan \pi / 3 \cdot \tan x}$

${ = \sum\limits_{x\, \in \,s} {\frac{{\sqrt 3 \, + \,1}}{{1\, - \,\sqrt 3 }}\, = \sum\limits_{x\, \in \,s} {\frac{{\sqrt 3 \, + \,1}}{{1\, - \,\sqrt 3 }}\, \times \,\frac{{1 + \sqrt 3 }}{{1 + \sqrt 3 }}} \,} }$

Let $\cos \alpha+\cos \beta=\frac{3}{2}$

$\Rightarrow 2 \cos \frac{\alpha+\beta}{2} \cos \frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$ ..... $(i)$

and $\sin \alpha+\sin \beta=\frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow 2 \sin \frac{\alpha+\beta}{2} \cos \frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$ ..... $(ii)$

On dividing $(ii)$ by $( i)$, we get

$\tan \left(\frac{\alpha+\beta}{2}\right)=\frac{1}{3}$

Given $: \theta=\frac{\alpha+\beta}{2} \Rightarrow 2 \theta=\alpha+\beta$

Consider $\sin 2 \theta+\cos 2 \theta=\sin (\alpha+\beta)+\cos$

Correct option: B.
$\sqrt {\frac{q}{p}} $
b
$\cos ec\,\theta  = \frac{{p + q}}{{p - q}},$ $\sin \theta  = \frac{{p - q}}{{p + q}}$

$\cos \theta$

$=\pm \sqrt{1-\sin ^{2} \theta}=\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{p-q}{p+q}\right)^{2}}=\frac{2 \sqrt{p q}}{(p+q)}$

$\left|\cot \left(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\theta}{2}\right)\right|=\frac{\cot \frac{\pi}{4} \cot \frac{\theta}{2}-1}{\cot \frac{\pi}{4}+\cot \frac{\theta}{2}}$

$=\frac{\cot \frac{\theta}{2}-1}{\cot \frac{\theta}{2}+1}=\frac{\cos \frac{\theta}{2}-\sin \frac{\theta}{2}}{\cos \frac{\theta}{2}+\sin \frac{\theta}{2}}$

On rationalizing denominator, we get

Given $2 \cos \theta+\sin \theta=1$

Squaring both sides, we get $(2 \cos \theta+\sin \theta)^{2}=1^{2}$

$\Rightarrow 4 \cos ^{2} \theta+\sin ^{2} \theta+4 \sin \theta \cos \theta=1$

$\Rightarrow 3 \cos ^{2} \theta+\left(\cos ^{2} \theta+\sin ^{2} \theta\right)+4 \sin \theta \cos \theta$ $=1$

$\Rightarrow 3 \cos ^{2} \theta+1+4 \sin \theta \cos \theta=1$

$\Rightarrow 3 \cos ^{2} \theta+4 \sin \theta \cos \theta=0$

$\Rightarrow \cos \theta(3 \cos \theta+4 \sin \theta)=0$

$\Rightarrow 3 \cos \theta+4 \sin \theta=0$

$\Rightarrow 3 \cos \theta=-4 \sin \theta$

$\Rightarrow \frac{-3}{4}=\tan \theta=\sqrt{\sec ^{2} \theta-1}=\frac{-3}{4}$

$(\because \tan \theta=\sqrt{\sec ^{2} \theta-1})$

$\Rightarrow \sec ^{2} \theta-1=$ $\left(\frac{-3}{4}\right)^{2}=\frac{9}{16}$

$\Rightarrow \sec ^{2} \theta=\frac{9}{16}+1=$ $\frac{25}{16} \Rightarrow \sec \theta=\frac{5}{4}$

or ${\cos \theta=\frac{4}{5}}$    ....... $(1)$

Now, $\sin ^{2} \theta+\cos ^{2} \theta=1$

$\Rightarrow \sin ^{2} \theta+\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{2}=1$

$\sin ^{2} \theta+\frac{4}{5}=1 \Rightarrow \sin ^{2} \theta=1-\frac{16}{25}=\frac{9}{25}$

$\sin \theta=\pm \frac{3}{5}$     ........ $(2)$

Taking $\quad\left(\sin \theta=-\frac{3}{5}\right) \quad$ because $\left(\sin \theta=\frac{3}{5}\right)$ cannot satisfy the given equation.

Therefore; $7 \cos \theta+6 \sin \theta$

$=7 \times \frac{4}{5}+6 \times \frac{3}{5}=\frac{28}{5}-\frac{18}{5}=2$

$2\,{\sin ^2}\theta \, - \,\cos \,2\theta \, = \,0$

$ \Rightarrow \,2\,{\sin ^2}\theta \, - \,(1 - 2\,{\sin ^2}\theta )\, = \,0$

$ \Rightarrow \,2\,{\sin ^2}\theta \, - \,1 + 2\,{\sin ^2}\theta \, = \,0$

$ \Rightarrow \,4\,{\sin ^2}\theta \, = 1 \Rightarrow \,\sin \theta \, = \, \pm \,\frac{1}{2}$

$\therefore \,\,\theta \, = \,\frac{\pi }{4},\frac{{3\pi }}{4},\frac{{5\pi }}{4},\frac{{7\pi }}{4},\,\theta  \in \,\,[0\,,\,2\,\pi ]$

$\therefore \,\,\theta \, = \,\frac{\pi }{6},\frac{{5\pi }}{6},\frac{{7\pi }}{6},\frac{{11\pi }}{6}$

Now $2\,{\cos ^2}\,\theta \, - \,3\,\sin \,\theta  = 0$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,2(1 - \,{\sin ^2}\,\theta )\, - \,3\,\sin \,\theta  = 0$

$ \Rightarrow \, - \,2\,{\sin ^2}\,\theta \, - \,3\,\sin \,\theta \, + \,2 = 0$

$ \Rightarrow \, - \,2\,{\sin ^2}\,\theta \, - \,4\,\sin \,\theta  + \sin \,\theta \, + \,2 = 0$

$ \Rightarrow \,2\,{\sin ^2}\,\theta \, - \,\,\sin \,\theta  + 4\sin \,\theta \, - \,2 = 0$

$ \Rightarrow \sin \,\theta (\,2\,\sin \,\theta \, - 1) + 2(\,2\,\sin \,\theta \, - 1) = 0\,$

$ \Rightarrow \sin \,\theta \, = \frac{1}{2}\,,\, - \,2$

But $\sin \,\theta \, = \, - \,2\,$ , is not possible

$\therefore \,\,\sin \,\theta \, = \,\frac{1}{2},\,$   $ \Rightarrow \,\,\theta \, = \,\frac{\pi }{6},\frac{{5\pi }}{6}$

Hence, there are two common solution, there each of the statement $-1$ and $2$ are true but statement $-\,2$ is not a correct explanation for statment $-\,1$.

As $\tan (2 \pi-\theta)>0,-1<\sin \theta<-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \theta \in[0,2 \pi]$

Now $2 \cos \theta(1-\sin \phi)=\sin ^2 \theta(\tan \theta / 2+\cot \theta / 2) \cos \phi-1$

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

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

As $\theta \in\left(\frac{3 \pi}{2}, \frac{5 \pi}{3}\right) \Rightarrow 2 \cos \theta+1 \in(1,2)$

$\Rightarrow 1<2 \sin (\theta+\phi)<2$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}<\sin (\theta+\phi)<1$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\sin \frac{3 \pi}{n}-\sin \frac{\pi}{n}}{\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{n}\right) \cdot \sin \frac{3 \pi}{n}}=\frac{1}{\sin \frac{2 \pi}{n}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{2 \cos \frac{2 \pi}{n} \sin \frac{\pi}{n}}{\sin \frac{\pi}{n} \sin \frac{3 \pi}{n}}=\frac{1}{\sin \frac{2 \pi}{n}}$

$\Rightarrow 2 \cos \frac{2 \pi}{n} \sin \frac{2 \pi}{n}=\sin \frac{3 \pi}{n}$

$\Rightarrow \sin \frac{4 \pi}{n}+\sin (0)=\sin \frac{3 \pi}{n}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{4 \pi}{n}+\frac{3 \pi}{n}=\pi$

$\Rightarrow 7 \pi= n \pi$

$n =7$

Hence, this is the answer.

$ (y+z) \cos 3 \theta-(x y z) \sin 3 \theta=0 $

$ x y z \sin 3 \theta=(2 \cos 3 \theta) z+(2 \sin 3 \theta) y $

$ \therefore(y+z) \cos 3 \theta=(2 \cos 3 \theta) z+(2 \sin 3 \theta) y=(y+2 z) \cos 3 \theta+y \sin 3 \theta $

$ y(\cos 3 \theta-2 \sin 3 \theta)=z \cos 3 \theta \text { and } $

$ y(\sin 3 \theta-\cos 3 \theta)=0 \Rightarrow \sin 3 \theta-\cos 3 \theta=0 \Rightarrow \sin 3 \theta=\cos 3 \theta $

$ \therefore 3 \theta=n \pi+\pi / 4$

Correct option: A.
$3$
a
$ \tan \theta=\cot 5 \theta $

$ \Rightarrow \cos 6 \theta=0 $

$ 4 \cos ^3 2 \theta-3 \cos 2 \theta=0 $

$ \Rightarrow \cos 2 \theta=0 \text { or } \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $

$ \sin 2 \theta=\cos 4 \theta $

$ \Rightarrow 2 \sin ^2 2 \theta+\sin 2 \theta-1=0 $

$ 2 \sin ^2 2 \theta+2 \sin 2 \theta-\sin 2 \theta-1=0 $

$ \sin 2 \theta=-1 \text { or } \sin 2 \theta=\frac{1}{2} $

$ \cos 2 \theta=0 \text { and } \sin 2 \theta=-1 $

$ \Rightarrow 2 \theta=-\frac{\pi}{2} \Rightarrow \theta=-\frac{\pi}{4} $

$ \cos 2 \theta= \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \sin 2 \theta=\frac{1}{2} $

$ \Rightarrow 2 \theta=\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5 \pi}{6} \Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\pi}{12}, \frac{5 \pi}{12} $

  • C
    $(A,D)$
  • D
    $(A,B)$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$(C,D)$
b
For $0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$

$\sum_{m=1}^6 \operatorname{cosec}\left(\theta+\frac{(m-1) \pi}{4}\right) \operatorname{cosec}\left(\theta+\frac{m \pi}{4}\right)=4 \sqrt{2}$

$\Rightarrow \sum_{m=1}^6 \frac{1}{\sin \left(\theta+\frac{(m-1) \pi}{4}\right) \sin \left(\theta+\frac{m \pi}{4}\right)}=4 \sqrt{2}$

$\Rightarrow \sum_{m=1}^6 \frac{\sin \left[\theta+\frac{m \pi}{4}-\left(\theta+\frac{(m-1) \pi}{4}\right)\right]}{\sin \frac{\pi}{4}\left\{\sin \left(\theta+\frac{(m-1) \pi}{4}\right) \sin \left(\theta+\frac{m \pi}{4}\right)\right\}}=4 \sqrt{2}$

$\Rightarrow \sum_{m=1}^6 \frac{\cot \left(\theta+\frac{(m-1) \pi}{4}\right)-\cot \left(\theta+\frac{m \pi}{4}\right)}{1 / \sqrt{2}}=4 \sqrt{2}$

$\Rightarrow \sum_{m=1}^6\left[\cot \left(\theta+\frac{(m-1) \pi}{4}\right)-\cot \left(\theta+\frac{m \pi}{4}\right)\right]=4$

$\Rightarrow \cot (\theta)-\cot \left(\theta+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)+\cot \left(\theta+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)-\cot \left(\theta+\frac{2 \pi}{4}\right)+$

$\cdots+\cot \left(\theta+\frac{5 \pi}{4}\right)-\cot \left(\theta+\frac{6 \pi}{4}\right)=4$

$\Rightarrow $$ \cot \theta-\cot \left(\frac{3 \pi}{2}+\theta\right)=4$

$\Rightarrow $$ \cot \theta+\tan \theta=4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \tan ^2 \theta-4 \tan \theta+1=0$

$\Rightarrow $$ (\tan \theta-2)^2-3=0$

$\Rightarrow $$ (\tan \theta-2+\sqrt{3})(\tan \theta-2-\sqrt{3})=0$

$\Rightarrow $$ \tan \theta=2-\sqrt{3} \text { or } \tan \theta=2+\sqrt{3}$

$\Rightarrow $$ \theta=\frac{\pi}{12} ; \theta=\frac{5 \pi}{12}$

$\because $$ \theta \in\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right) .$

The number of values of $x$ in the interval $[0, 5 \pi  ] $ satisfying the equation $3{\sin ^2}x - 7\sin x + 2 = 0$ is
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $5$
  • $6$
  • D
    $10$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$6$
c
(c) $3{\sin ^2}x - 7\sin x + 2 = 0$

$ \Rightarrow $ $3{\sin ^2}x - 6\sin x - \sin x + 2 = 0$

$ \Rightarrow $ $3\sin (\sin x - 2) - (\sin x - 2) = 0$

$ \Rightarrow $ $(3\sin x - 1)\,(\sin x - 2) = 0$

$ \Rightarrow $ $\sin x = \frac{1}{3}{\rm{ or 2}}$

$ \Rightarrow $ $\sin x = \frac{1}{3}$, ($ \because \,\,\sin x \ne 2$)

Let ${\sin ^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{3} = \alpha $,

$0 < \alpha < \frac{\pi }{2}$ are the solutions in $[0,{\rm{ }}5\pi ]$. 

Then $\alpha ,$$\pi - \alpha ,\,$$2\pi + \alpha ,$ $\,3\pi - \alpha ,$ $\,4\pi + \alpha $, $5\pi - \alpha $ are the solutions in $[0,\,5\pi ]$.

$\therefore $ Required number of solutions $= 6$.

General value of $\theta $ satisfying the equation ${\tan ^2}\theta + \sec 2\theta - = 1$ is
  • A
    $m\pi ,n\pi + \frac{\pi }{3}$
  • $m\pi ,n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{3}$
  • C
    $m\pi ,n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{6}$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: B.
$m\pi ,n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{3}$
b
(b) Using $\sec 2\theta = \frac{1}{{\cos 2\theta }} = \frac{{1 + {{\tan }^2}\theta }}{{1 - {{\tan }^2}\theta }}$,

we can write the given equation as ${\tan ^2}\theta + \frac{{1 + {{\tan }^2}\theta }}{{1 - {{\tan }^2}\theta }} = 1$.

$ \Rightarrow $ ${\tan ^2}\theta (1 - {\tan ^2}\theta ) + 1 + {\tan ^2}\theta = 1 - {\tan ^2}\theta $

$ \Rightarrow $ $3{\tan ^2}\theta - {\tan ^4}\theta = 0 \Rightarrow {\tan ^2}\theta (3 - {\tan ^2}\theta ) = 0$

$ \Rightarrow $ $\tan \theta = 0$ or $\tan \theta = \pm \sqrt 3 $

Now $\tan \theta = 0 \Rightarrow \theta = m\pi $, where $m$ is an integer and

$\tan \theta = \pm \sqrt 3 = \tan ( \pm \pi /3) \Rightarrow \theta = n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{3}$, where $n$ is an integer.

Thus $\theta = m\pi ,\,n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{3}$, where $m$ and $n$ are integers.

    $\left( {\frac{\pi }{4},\frac{{3\pi }}{4}} \right)$
  • C
    $\left( {\frac{{3\pi }}{4},\frac{{5\pi }}{4}} \right)$
  • $\left( {\frac{{5\pi }}{4},\frac{{7\pi }}{4}} \right)$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\left( {\frac{{5\pi }}{4},\frac{{7\pi }}{4}} \right)$
d
(d) We have, ${\cos ^2}\theta + \sin \theta + 1 = 0$

==> $1 - {\sin ^2}\theta + \sin \theta + 1 = 0$

==> ${\sin ^2}\theta - \sin \theta - 2 = 0$

==> $(\sin \theta + 1)\,(\sin \theta - 2) = 0$

$\sin \theta = 2$, which is not possible and $\sin \theta = - 1$.

Therefore, solution of given equation lies in the interval $\left( {\frac{{5\pi }}{4},\,\frac{{7\pi }}{4}} \right)$.
