MCQ 12 Marks
If polar co$-$ordinates of point $P$ are $\left(\sqrt{2}, \frac{7 \pi}{4}\right)$, then Cartestan co$-$ordinates of point $P$ are $.......$
  • $(1,-1)$
  • B
    $(1,1)$
  • C
    $(-1,1)$
  • D
    $(-1,-1)$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$(1,-1)$
$(1, -1)$
$\text {Polar co ordinates }=\left(\sqrt{2}, \frac{7 \pi}{4}\right)=(r, \theta)$
$\therefore r=\sqrt{2}, \theta=\frac{7 \pi}{4}$
$x=r \cos \theta$
$=\sqrt{2} \cos \frac{7 \pi}{4}$
$=\sqrt{2} \cos \left(2 \pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
$=\sqrt{2} \cos \frac{\pi}{4}$
$=\sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$=1$
$y=r \sin \theta$
$=\sqrt{2} \sin \frac{7 \pi}{4}$
$=\sqrt{2} \sin \left(2 \pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
$=\sqrt{2}\left(-\sin \frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
$=\sqrt{2}\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$
$=-1$
$\therefore$ Cartesian co$-$ordinates $=(1-1)$

Question 22 Marks
In a $\triangle A B C$, with usual notations prove that : $\frac{a-b \cos C}{b-a \cos C}=\frac{\cos B}{\cos A}$
Answer

Consider L.H.S. $=\frac{a-b \cos C}{b-a \cos C}$
$=\frac{b \cos C+c \cos B-b \cos C}{a \cos C+c \cos A-a \cos C}$
$=\frac{c \cos B}{c \cos A}$
$=\frac{\cos B}{\cos A}=R . H . S$
$\therefore \frac{a-b \cos C}{b-a \cos C}=\frac{\cos B}{\cos A}$

Question 42 Marks
Find the Cartesian co-ordinates of the point whose polar co =ordinates are $\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{\pi}{3}\right)$
Answer
Polar coordinates $=\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{\pi}{3}\right)=(r, \theta)$
$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore \quad r & =\frac{1}{2}, \theta=\frac{\pi}{3} \\
x & =r \cos \theta=\frac{1}{2} \cos \frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4} \\
y & =r \sin \theta=\frac{1}{2} \sin \frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \\
\therefore & \text { Cartesian coordinates }=\left(\frac{1}{4}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\right)
\end{aligned}

Question 52 Marks
Find the principal solutions of $\cot \theta=0$.
Answer
$\cot \theta=0 $
$\Rightarrow \tan \theta$ is not defined.
But $\tan \frac{\pi}{2}$ is not defined.
$\therefore \tan \theta=\tan \frac{\pi}{2}, $
$\therefore \theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\text { Also } \tan \frac{\pi}{2}=\tan \left(\pi+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=\tan \frac{3 \pi}{2}$
$\therefore 0 \leq \frac{\pi}{2} \leq 2 \pi \text { and } 0 \leq \frac{3 \pi}{2} \leq 2 \pi \text {. }$
$\therefore$ Principal solutions are $\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$ and $\theta=\frac{3 \pi}{2}$.

MCQ 62 Marks
In $\triangle ABC$ if $c^2+a^2-b^2=a c$, then $\angle B=......$
  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{4}$
  • $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi}{6}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{\pi}{3}$
$c^2+a^2-b^2=a c$
$\therefore \frac{c^2+a^2-b^2}{2 a c}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\therefore \cos B=\frac{1}{2}, $
$\therefore \angle B=\frac{\pi}{3}$
Hence option $(b)$

  • A
    $\frac{1}{5}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}}$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{5}$

MCQ 102 Marks
If $\sin ^{-1}(1-x)-2 \sin ^{-1} x=\frac{\pi}{2}$ then $x$ is
  • A
    $-\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    1
  • C
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}$
Answer

$\sin ^{-1}(1-x)-2 \sin ^{-1} x=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\therefore \sin ^{-1}(1-x)=\frac{\pi}{2}+2 \sin ^{-1} x$
$\therefore 1-x=\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}+2 \sin ^{-1} x \right)$
$\therefore 1- x =\cos \left(2 \sin ^{-1} x \right) \ldots\left[\cdot\left[\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}+\theta\right)=\cos \theta\right]\right.$
$\therefore 1-x=1-2\left[\sin \left(\sin ^{-1} x\right)\right]^2 \quad \ldots .\left[\because \cos 2 \theta=1-2 \sin ^2 \theta\right]$
$\therefore 1-x=1-2 x^2$
$\therefore 2 x^2-x=0$
$\therefore x(2 x-1)=0$
$\therefore x=0$ or $x=\frac{1}{2}$
When $x=\frac{1}{2}$
LHS $=\sin ^{-1}\left(1-\frac{1}{2}\right)-2 \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
$=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)-2 \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
$=-\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
$=-\sin ^{-1}\left(\sin \frac{\pi}{6}\right)$
$=-\frac{\pi}{6} \neq \frac{\pi}{2}$
$\therefore x \neq \frac{1}{2}$
Hence, x = 0.

    $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{6}$

Question 132 Marks
Find the general solution of $\cos x+\sin x=1$.
Answer

cos x + sinx = 1
$\cos x \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\sin x \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\cos x \frac{\cos \pi}{4}+\sin x \frac{\sin \pi}{4}=\frac{\cos \pi}{4}$
$\cos \left(x-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\cos \left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
by $\cos y=\cos \alpha$
$y=2 n \pi \pm \alpha$
$x-\frac{\pi}{4}=2 n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4}$
$x-\frac{\pi}{4}=2 n \pi+\frac{\pi}{4}$ or $x-\frac{\pi}{4}=2 n \pi-\frac{\pi}{4}$
$x=2 n \pi+\frac{\pi}{2}$ or $x=2 n \pi$

The principal solution of the equation $\cot x=-\sqrt{3}$ is
  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{6}$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{5 \pi}{6}$
  • D
    $-\frac{5 \pi}{6}$
Answer

$\frac{5 \pi}{6}$
$\cot x=-\sqrt{3}$
$\cot x=-\cot x$
we know $\cot x$;is negative in 2nd and 4th quadrant so, we convert this 2nd or 4th
now
$\cot x=-\cot x=\cot \left(\pi-\frac{5 \pi}{6}\right)$
$x=\frac{5 \pi}{6}$
also
$\cot x=\cot \left(2 \pi-\frac{11 \pi}{6}\right)$
$x=\frac{11 \pi}{6}$
only option given is $\frac{5 \pi}{6}$

MCQ 172 Marks
If in $\triangle A B C$ with usual notations $a=18, b=24, c=30$ then $\sin \frac{A}{2}=$
  • A
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{15}}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{5}}$
Answer

(B) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}$
$s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}=\frac{18+24+30}{2}=36$
$\sin \left(\frac{A}{2}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{(s-b)(s-c)}{b c}}=\sqrt{\frac{(36-24)(36-30)}{24 \times 30}}=\sqrt{\frac{12 \times 6}{24 \times 30}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}$

Question 182 Marks
Find the general solution of the equations $\sin x=\tan x$
Answer

sin x = tan x
∴ sin x = sinx/cosx
∴ sin x cos x - sin x = 0
∴ sin x (cos x - 1) = 0 
∴ sin x = 0 or cos x = 1
∴ sin x = sin 0 or cos x = cos 0
Since, sin θ = 0 implies θ = nπ and cos θ = cos α implies θ = 2nπ±α  , n ∈ Z.
∴ x = nπ or x = 2mπ ± 0
∴ the required general solution is x = nπ or x = 2mπ, where n, m ∈ Z.
