The general solution of $\sin x - 3\sin 2x + \sin 3x = $ $\cos x - 3\cos 2x + \cos 3x$ is
  • A
    $n\pi + \frac{\pi }{8}$
  • $\frac{{n\pi }}{2} + \frac{\pi }{8}$
  • C
    ${( - 1)^n}\frac{{n\pi }}{2} + \frac{\pi }{8}$
  • D
    $2n\pi + {\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{3}{2}$
Answer
Correct 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
  • A
    $2n\pi $
  • $n\pi + {( - 1)^n}\frac{\pi }{4} - \frac{\pi }{4}$
  • C
    $2n\pi + \frac{\pi }{2}$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct 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 $x =$
  • A
    $\frac{\pi }{5},\frac{\pi }{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi }{5}$
  • $\frac{\pi }{4}$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct 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 $x = \frac{\pi }{4},\,\frac{\pi }{2},\,\frac{{3\pi }}{4},\,\frac{{5\pi }}{6},\,\frac{{5\pi }}{4},\,\frac{{7\pi }}{6},\,\frac{{7\pi }}{4},\,\frac{{9\pi }}{6},\,\frac{{11\pi }}{6}$.

    $(2n + 1)\frac{\pi }{{10}}$
  • $n\pi + \frac{\pi }{2}$or $\frac{{n\pi }}{5} + \frac{\pi }{{10}}$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct 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 $\frac{{n\pi }}{5} + \frac{\pi }{{10}}$.

    $\frac{\pi }{6},\frac{{7\pi }}{6}$
  • $\frac{\pi }{3},\frac{{5\pi }}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi }{3},\frac{{7\pi }}{3}$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct 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 $\frac{\pi }{3},{\rm{ }}\frac{{{\rm{5}}\pi }}{{\rm{3}}}$.

  • A
    $n\pi + \frac{\pi }{2}$
  • B
    $2n\pi - \frac{\pi }{2}$
  • $2n\pi + \frac{\pi }{2}$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct 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.

    Infinite number of solutions
  • No solutions
Answer
Correct option: D.
No solutions
d
(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 $\sin x + \cos x = 2$.

Answer
Correct option: C.
$2$
c
(c) $\sec \theta + \tan \theta = \sqrt 3 $....$(i)$

Also we have ${\sec ^2}\theta - {\tan ^2}\theta = 1$...$(ii)$

$ \Rightarrow $ $\sec \theta - \tan \theta = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}$...$(iii)$

Now $(i)$ and $(iii)$ gives,

$\tan \theta = \frac{1}{2}\left( {\sqrt 3 - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}} \right) = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }} = \tan \left( {\frac{\pi }{6}} \right)$

$ \Rightarrow $ $\theta = n\pi + \frac{\pi }{6}$.

$\therefore $ Solutions for $0 \le \theta \le 2\pi $ are $\frac{\pi }{6}$ and $\frac{{7\pi }}{6}$.

Hence there are two solutions.

Answer
Correct option: D.
${90^o},{30^o},{150^o}$
d
(d) $\sin 2\theta = \cos \theta $

$\Rightarrow \cos \theta = \cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{2} - 2\theta } \right)$

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

$\Rightarrow \theta \pm 2\theta = 2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{2}$

$i.e.$, $3\theta = 2n\pi + \frac{\pi }{2} $

$\Rightarrow \theta = \frac{1}{3}\left( {2n\pi + \frac{\pi }{2}} \right)$

and $ - \theta = 2n\pi - \frac{\pi }{2}$

$\Rightarrow \theta = - \left( {2n\pi - \frac{\pi }{2}} \right)$

Hence value of $\theta $ between $0$ and $\pi $ are $\frac{\pi }{6},\,\frac{\pi }{2},\,\frac{{5\pi }}{6}$

$i.e.$, ${30^o},\,{90^o},\,{150^o}$.

  • A
    $0 \le x \le \frac{\pi }{2}$
  • B
    $0 \le x \le \pi $
  • For all $x \in R$
  • D
    $x \ge 0$
Answer
Correct option: C.
For all $x \in R$
c
(c) The expression is $\frac{{(1 + \tan x + {{\tan }^2}x)(1 + {{\tan }^2}x - \tan x)}}{{{{\tan }^2}x}}$

$=  \frac{{{{(1 + {{\tan }^2}x)}^2} - {{\tan }^2}x}}{{{{\tan }^2}x}}$

Obviously, $1 + {\tan ^2}x \ge {\tan ^2}x,{\rm{ }}\forall {\rm{ }}x$. 

Hence it is positive for all value of $x.$
