- ✓
$\frac{{n\pi }}{2} + \frac{\pi }{8}$
- C
${( - 1)^n}\frac{{n\pi }}{2} + \frac{\pi }{8}$
- D
$2n\pi + {\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{3}{2}$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $\frac{{n\pi }}{2} + \frac{\pi }{8}$
b
(b) $\sin x - 3\sin 2x + \sin 3x = \cos x - 3\cos 2x + \cos 3x$
$ \Rightarrow $$2\sin 2x\cos x - 3\sin 2x - 2\cos 2x\cos x + 3\cos 2x = 0$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\sin 2x(2\cos x - 3) - \cos 2x(2\cos x - 3) = 0$
$ \Rightarrow $$(\sin 2x - \cos 2x)\,\,(2\cos x - 3) = 0 \Rightarrow \sin 2x = \cos 2x$
$(\,\because \cos x \ne 3/2)$
$ \Rightarrow $ $2x = 2n\pi \pm \left( {\frac{\pi }{2} - 2x} \right)$
$i.e.,$ $x = \frac{{n\pi }}{2} + \frac{\pi }{8}$.

If $\sin \theta + \cos \theta = 1$ then the general value of $\theta $ is
AnswerCorrect option: B. $n\pi + {( - 1)^n}\frac{\pi }{4} - \frac{\pi }{4}$
b
(b) $\sin \theta + \cos \theta = 1$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\sin \theta + \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\cos \theta = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$
Dividing by $\sqrt {{1^2} + {1^2}} = \sqrt 2 $, we get
$\sin \left( {\theta + \frac{\pi }{4}} \right) = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} = \sin \frac{\pi }{4}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\theta + \frac{\pi }{4} = n\pi + {( - 1)^n}\frac{\pi }{4}$
$\Rightarrow \theta = n\pi + {( - 1)^n}\frac{\pi }{4} - \frac{\pi }{4}$.

If $\sec x\cos 5x + 1 = 0$, where $0 < x < 2\pi $, then $x =$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $\frac{\pi }{4}$
c
(c) $\sec x\cos 5x = - 1 \Rightarrow \cos 5x = - \cos x$
$ \Rightarrow $ $5x = 2n\pi \pm (\pi - x)$
$ \Rightarrow $ $x = \frac{{(2n + 1)\pi }}{6}{\rm{ or }}\frac{{(2n - 1)\pi }}{4}$
Hence $x = \frac{\pi }{4},\,\frac{\pi }{2},\,\frac{{3\pi }}{4},\,\frac{{5\pi }}{6},\,\frac{{5\pi }}{4},\,\frac{{7\pi }}{6},\,\frac{{7\pi }}{4},\,\frac{{9\pi }}{6},\,\frac{{11\pi }}{6}$.

AnswerCorrect option: C. $n\pi + \frac{\pi }{2}$or $\frac{{n\pi }}{5} + \frac{\pi }{{10}}$
c
(c) $\sec 4\theta - \sec 2\theta = 2$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\cos 2\theta - \cos 4\theta = 2\cos 4\theta \cos 2\theta $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ - \cos 4\theta = \cos 6\theta $
$ \Rightarrow $ $2\cos 5\theta \cos \theta = 0$
$\theta = n\pi + {\pi\over{2}}$ or $\frac{{n\pi }}{5} + \frac{\pi }{{10}}$.

- C
$\frac{\pi }{3},\frac{{7\pi }}{3}$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: B. $\frac{\pi }{3},\frac{{5\pi }}{3}$
b
(b) $2 - 2{\cos ^2}\theta = 3\cos \theta $
==> $2{\cos ^2} + 3\cos \theta - 2 = 0$
==> $\cos \theta = \frac{{ - 3 \pm \sqrt {9 + 16} }}{4} = \frac{{ - 3 \pm 5}}{4}$
Neglecting $(-)$ sign, we get
$\cos \theta = \frac{1}{2} = \cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{3}} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\theta = 2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{3}$.
The values of $\theta $ between $0$ and $2\pi $ are $\frac{\pi }{3},{\rm{ }}\frac{{{\rm{5}}\pi }}{{\rm{3}}}$.

- D
AnswerCorrect option: C. $2n\pi + \frac{\pi }{2}$
c
(c) $\frac{1}{{\sin \theta }} = 1 + \frac{{\cos \theta }}{{\sin \theta }}$
$\Rightarrow \sin \theta + \cos \theta = 1$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\cos \left( {\theta - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)\, = \cos \frac{\pi }{4} $
$\Rightarrow \theta - \frac{\pi }{4} = 2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{4}$
Hence $\theta = 2n\pi $ or $\theta = 2n\pi + \frac{\pi }{2}$.
But $\theta = 2n\pi $ is ruled out.

Answerd
(d) No solution as $|\sin x| \le 1,\,|\cos x| \le 1$ and both of them do not attain their maximum value for the same angle.
Aliter : Since the maximum value of $(\sin x + \cos x) = \sqrt {{1^2} + {1^2}} = \sqrt 2 $.
Hence there is no satisfying $\sin x + \cos x = 2$.

(c) $\sec \theta + \tan \theta = \sqrt 3 $....$(i)$
Also we have ${\sec ^2}\theta - {\tan ^2}\theta = 1$...$(ii)$

$\theta = {150^o}$ and ${330^o}$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $\theta = {150^o}$ and ${330^o}$
d
(d) We have, $\tan \theta + \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }} = 0$ or $\tan \theta = - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}$
$\because$ $\theta $ lies in between $0^\circ $ and $360^\circ $
$\therefore $ $\theta = 150^\circ $ and $330^\circ $.

- A
$n\pi + \frac{{7\pi }}{4}$
- B
$n\pi + {( - 1)^n}\frac{{7\pi }}{4}$
- ✓
$2n\pi + \frac{{7\pi }}{4}$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: C. $2n\pi + \frac{{7\pi }}{4}$
c
(c) $\tan \theta = - 1 = \tan \left( {2\pi - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right) ,$
$\cos \theta = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} = \cos \left( {2\pi - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)$
Hence general value is $2n\pi + \left( {2\pi - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right) = 2n\pi + \frac{{7\pi }}{4}$.

The most general value of $\theta $ which will satisfy both the equations $\sin \theta = - \frac{1}{2}$ and $\tan \theta = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}$ is
Answerd
(d) $\sin \theta = - \frac{1}{2} = \sin \left( { - \frac{\pi }{6}} \right) = \sin {\rm{ }}\left( {\pi + \frac{\pi }{6}} \right)$
$\tan \theta = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }} = \tan \left( {\frac{\pi }{6}} \right) = \tan \left( {\pi + \frac{\pi }{6}} \right)$
$\Rightarrow \theta = \left( {\pi + \frac{\pi }{6}} \right)$
Hence general value of $\theta $ is $2n\pi + \frac{{7\pi }}{6}$.

${280^o}$ and ${110^o}$
- D
${110^o}$ and ${260^o}$
AnswerCorrect option: A. ${100^o}$ and ${260^o}$
a
(a) Here $\cos \theta = 1 - 2{\cos ^2}{40^o}$
$= - (2{\cos ^2}{40^o} - 1)$ $ = - \cos (2 \times {40^o})$
$= - \cos {80^o}$ = $\cos ({180^o} + {80^o}) = \cos ({180^o} - {80^o})$
Hence, $\cos 260^\circ {\rm{and}}\cos 100^\circ $
$i.e.$, $\theta = 100^\circ $ and $260^\circ$.
