\( \left(\cot \frac{\theta}{2}-\tan \frac{\theta}{2}\right)^{2}(1-2 \tan \theta \cot 2 \theta) \) का हल होगा- (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4

Answer»

The correct option is (D) 4.

(cot θ/2 - tan θ/2)²(1 - 2 tan θ cot 2θ)

\(=(\cfrac{cos\,\theta/2}{sin\,\theta/2}-\cfrac{sin\,\theta/2}{cos\,\theta/2})^2\) (1 - 2 tan θ cot 2θ)

\(=(\cfrac{cos^2\,\theta/2-sin^2\,\theta/2}{sin\,\theta/2\;cos\,\theta/2})^2\) (1 - 2 tan θ cot 2θ)

\(=\left(\cfrac{2(cos^2\,\theta/2-sin^2\,\theta/2)}{2\,sin\,\theta/2\;cos\,\theta/2}\right)^2\) (1 - 2 tan θ cot 2θ)

\(=4(\frac{cos\,\theta}{sin\,\theta})^2\) (1 - 2 tan θ cot 2θ) (∵ cos² θ/2 - sin² θ/2 = cos θ & 2 sin θ/2 cos θ/2 = sin θ)

= 4 cot²θ \((1-\frac{2\,tan\,\theta}{tan\,2\theta})\)

= 4 cot²θ \(\left(1-\frac{2\,tan\,\theta}{\frac{2\,tan\,\theta}{1-tan^2\theta}}\right)\)

= 4 cot²θ (1 - (1 - tan²θ))

= 4 cot²θ (1 - 1 + tan²θ)

= 4 cot²θ tan²θ

= 4.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : \(\rm {2\over7}\sin^{7\over2} x\) + C

Concept:

Integral property:

∫ xn dx = \(\rm x^{n+1}\over n+1\)+ C ; n ≠ -1
\(\rm∫ {1\over x} dx = \ln x\) + C
∫ ex dx = ex+ C
∫ ax dx = (ax/ln a) + C ; a > 0, a ≠ 1
∫ sin x dx = - cos x + C
∫ cos x dx = sin x + C

Substitution method: If the function cannot be integrated directly substitution method is used. To integration by substitution is used in the following steps:

A new variable is to be chosen, say “t”
The value of dt is to is to be determined.
Substitution is done and integral function is then integrated.
Finally, initial variable t, to be returned.

Calculation:

I = ∫(sin5 x - sin7 x)\(^{1\over2}\) dx

⇒ I = ∫[sin⁵ x (1 - sin² x)]^{\(^{1\over2}\)}dx

⇒ I = ∫ (sin⁵ x)^{\(^{1\over2}\)}(cos² x)^{\(^{1\over2}\)}dx

⇒ I = ∫ sin^{\(^{5\over2}\)} x cos x dx

Substituting sin x = t ⇒ cos x dx = dt

⇒ I = ∫ t^{\(^{5\over2}\)} dt

⇒ I = \(\rm \left[t^{7\over2}\over{7\over2}\right]\) + C

⇒ I = \(\boldsymbol{\rm {2\over7}\sin^{7\over2} x}\) + C

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 25 : 4

Given:
Ratio of income to expenditure 3 : 1

Calculation:

Let income be 3x and expenditure be x

Increased income = 1.25(3x) = 3.75x

Decreased expenditure = 0.6x

Required ratio of income to expenditure = 3.75x/0.6x = 25/4
