A and B are positive acute angles satisfying the equations `3cos^(2)A+2cos^(2)B=4and (3sinA)/(sinB)=(2cosB)/(cosA), then A+2B` is equal toA. `pi//4`B. `pi//3`C. `pi//6`D. `pi//2`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
From the given relation, we have
`2 cos^(2) B-1=3(1-cos^(2)A)`
or `cos 2B = 3 sin^(2)A` …(1)
`(3 sin A)/(sin B)=(2 cos B)/(cos A)`
`rArr (3)/(2) sin 2A = sin 2B`
`rArr 3 sin 2A = 2 sin 2B` …(2)
Now cos (A + 2B)
`= cos A cos 2B - sin A sin 2B`
`= cos A(3 sin^(2)A)-sin A.(3)/(2)sin 2A`
`= 3 cos A sin^(2)A-3 sin^(2)A cos A = 0`
`therefore A+2B=90^(@)`

`=(y)/(b)xx(x)/(a)+sqrt(1-(x^(2))/(a^(2)))sqrt(1-(y^(2))/(b^(2)))`
`rArr[(xy)/(ab)-cos(alpha-beta)]^(2)=(1-(x^(2))/(a^(2)))(1-(y^(2))/(b^(2)))`
or `(x^(2)y^(2))/(a^(2)b^(2))+cos^(2)(alpha-beta)-(2xy)/(ab)cos(alpha-beta)`
`1-(y^(2)/(b^(2))-(x^(2))/(a^(2))+(x^(2)y^(2))/(a^(2)b^(2))`
or `(x^(2))/(a^(2))+(y^(2))/(b^(2))-(2xy)/(ab)cos(alpha-beta)=sin^(2)(alpha-beta)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Given
`sin(A+B)+sin(A-B)+sin (B+C)+sin(B-C)+sin (C+A)+sin(C-A)`
`= sin A + sin B + sin C`
`rArr sin(A-B)+sin (B-C)+sin(C-A)=0`
`rArr 4 sin.(A-B)/(2)sin.(B-C)/(2)sin.(C-A)/(2)=0`
`therefore Delta` is isosceles.

If `cos A, cosB and cosC` are the roots of the cubic `x^3 + ax^2 + bx + c = 0` where `A, B, C` are the anglesof a triangle then find the value of `a^2 – 2b– 2c`.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
cos A, cos B and cos C are the roots of the cubic equation
`x^(3)+ax^(2)+bx + c=0`
`rArr cos A+cos B + cos C = -a`
cos A cos B + cos B cos C + cos C cos A = b
cos A cos B cos C = -c
Now `(cos A+cos B cosC)^(2)=(Sigma cos^(2)A)+2(Sigma cos A cos B)`
`therefore cos^(2)A+cos^(2)B+cos^(2)C=a^(2)-2b`
`therefore 3+cos 2A+cos 2B+cos 2C=2a^(2)-4b`
`therefore 3-1-4 cos A cos B cos C = 2a^(2)-4b`
`thererfore 1+2c=a^(2)-2b`
`therefore a^(2)-2b-2c =1`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`L.H.S.=(cos A+ cos B)+(cos C + cos D)`
`=2 cos.(A+B)/(2)cos.(A-B)/(2)+2 cos.(C+D)/(2)cos.(C-D)/(2)`
`=2cos.(A+B)/(2)cos.(A-B)/(2)cos.(A-B)/(2)+2cos(pi-(A+B)/(2))cos.(C-D)/(2)`
`=2 cos.(A+B)/(2)cos.(A-B)/(2)-2cos.(A+B)/(2)cos.(C-D)/(2)`
`=2 cos.(A+B)/(2)[cos.(A-B)/(2)-cos.(C-D)/(2)]`
`=2 cos.(A+B)/(2)xx 2 sin(A-B+C-D)/(4)sin.(C-D-A+B)/(4)`
`=4 cos.(A+B)/(2)sin.(A+C-(B+D))/(4)sin.(B+C-(A+D))/(4)`
`=4 cos.(A+B)/(2)sin.(A+C-(2pi-A-C))/(4)sin.(B+C-(2pi-B-C))/(4)`
`=4 cos.(A+B)/(2)sin.((A+C)/(2)-(pi)/(2))sin((B+C)/(2)-(pi)/(2))`
`=4 cos.(A+B)/(2)[-sin((pi)/(2)-(A+C)/(2))][-sin((pi)/(2)-(B+C)/(2))]`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Let `alpha=(180^(@))/(7)`
`rArr 180^(@)=7alpha`
`rArr 3alpha=180^(@)-4alpha`
`rARr sin 3alpha=sin4alpha`
`therefore co sec ((360^(@))/(7))+co sec((540^(@))/(7))`
`=co sec 2alpha+co sec 3alpha`
`=(sin 3alpha+2 alpha)/(sin 3alpha sin 2alpha)`
`=(sin 4alpha+sin 2alpha)/(sin 3alpha sin 2alpha)`
`=(2sin 3alpha cos alpha)/(sin 3alpha. sin 2alpha)`
`=(2cos alpha)/(2sin alpha. cos alpha)`
`=co sec alpha`
`=co sec ((180^(@))/(7))`

Answer» Correct Answer - B::C
`sec x + tan x = (22)/(7)`
`rArr (1+sin x)/(cos x)=(22)/(7)`
`rArr (1+(2t)/(1+t^(2)))/((1-t^(2))/(1+t^(2)))=(22)/(7)`, where `t= tan.(x)/(2)`
`rArr ((1+t)^(2))/(1-t^(2))=(22)/(7)`
`rArr (1+t)/(1-t)=(22)/(7)`
`rArr t=(15)/(29)`
Now cosec x + cot x
`=(1+cos x)/(sin x)`
`=(2 cos^(2)(x//2))/(2sin(x//2)cos(x//2))`
`=cot((x)/(2))=(29)/(15)`

`=2 "cos"^(2)(3theta)/(2)+2 cos.(3theta)/(2)cos.(theta)/(2)`
`=2 cos.(3theta)/(2)[cos.(3theta)/(2)+cos.(theta)/(2)]`
Similarly `v=2 sin.(3theta)/(2)[cos.(3theta)/(2)+cos.(theta)/(2)]`
`therefore u^(2)+v^(2)=4(cos.(3theta)/(2)+cos.(theta)/(2))^(2)`
`=4(2cos theta. cos.(theta)/(2))^(2)=16 cos^(2)theta."cos"^(2)(theta)/(2)`
`= 4(1+cos theta)(1+cos 2 theta)`

Now `(tan^(2) theta + cot^(2)theta)=2+4 cot^(2)2theta`
`S=2+4"cot"^(2)(pi)/(12)+(70)/(3)+2+4"cot"^(2)(5pi)/(12)+1`
`=(85)/(3)+4[(2+sqrt(3))^(2)+(2-sqrt(3))^(2)]`

`therefore g(theta)=(1)/(2)`
`therefore (1)/(g(theta))=2`

Answer» Correct Answer - B::D
`sin.(theta)/(2)=sqrt(1+sin theta)-sqrt(1-sin theta)`
`rArr sin.(theta)/(2)=|cos.(theta)/(2)+sin.(theta)/(2)|-|cos.(theta)/(2)-sin.(theta)/(2)|`
If `0 le theta le (pi)/(2), sin.(theta)/(2)=2 sin.(theta)/(2) rArr theta = 0`
If `(pi)/(2) lt theta le pi, sin.(theta)/(2) = 2 cos.(theta)/(2)`
`rArr tan.(theta)/(2)=2`
`rArr tan theta = (2 tan.(theta)/(2))/(1-"tan"^(2)(theta)/(2))=(4)/(1-4)=(-4)/(3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Given `cot((A)/(2))cot((C)/(2))=3`
`rArr (cos((A)/(2))cos((C)/(2)))/(sin((A)/(2))sin((C)/(2)))=3`
`rArr(cos((A-C)/(2)))/(cos((A+C)/(2)))=2`

If A > 0, B > 0, and A + B = `pi/3` then the maximum value of tan A tan B is

Answer» Correct Answer - 3
`A+b= pi//3`
`rArr tan (A+B) = sqrt3`
`rArr (tanA + tanB)/(1-tan A tan B) = sqrt3`
`rArr = (tan A + (y)/(tan A)) /( 1-y) = sqrt3`
` rArr tan^(2)A+ sqrt3 (y-1) tan A +y =0 `
For real values of `tan A`,
`" " 3(y-1)^(2) - 4y =0`
`rArr 3y^(2) - 10y + 3 ge 0`
`rArr (y-3)(3y-1) ge 0`
`rArr y le (1)/(3) or y ge 3`
But A, B `gt` 0 and A +B `= pi//3`
`rArr A, B lt pi//3`
`rArr tan A tan B lt 3` so, ` ge 3` is not a possibility.
Therefore, `y le (1)/(3)` i.e., max. value of `y ` is `1//3`

Let `f(theta)=cottheta/(1+cottheta)` and `alpha+beta=(5pi)/4` then the value ` f(alpha)f (beta)` isA. `(1)/(2)`B. `-(1)/(2)`C. 2D. none of these.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`f(beta)=f((5pi)/(4)-alpha)=(cot((5pi)/(4)-alpha))/(1+cot((5pi)/(4)-alpha))`
`=(1)/(1+(1-tanalpha)/(1+tan alpha))=(1+tan alpha)/(2)`
As `f(x)=(cotalpha)/(1+cotalpha)=(1)/(1+tan alpha)`, we have
`f(alpha)f(beta)=(1)/(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Let `alpha=(pi-A)/(4),beta(pi-B)/(4),gamma=(pi-C)/(4)`
`rArr alpha+beta+gamma=(pi)/(2)`

If `cos(alpha-beta)=3sin(alpha+beta),t h e n1/(1-3sin2alpha)+1/(1-3sin2beta)=``1/2`(b) `(-1)/2`(c) `1/4`(d) `(-1)/4`A. `(1)/(2)`B. `(-1)/(2)`C. `(1)/(4)`D. (-1)/(4)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Put, `beta=0rArr tan alpha=(1)/(3)`
`rArr sin 2alpha=(2((1)/(3)))/(1+(1)/(9))=(3)/(5)`
`therefore (1)/(1-3sin 2alpha)+(1)/(1-3sin2beta)`
`=(1)/(1-3sin2alpha)+1=(1)/(1-(9)/(5))+1=(-1)/(4)`.

The value of `[ ( sin ""(pi)/(9)) (4+ sec""(pi)/(9))]^(2)` is _______.

Answer» Correct Answer - 3
`(sin ""(pi)/(9)) (4+sec""(pi)/(9))`
` " " = sin 20^(@) ( 4+ (1)/( cos 20^(@)))`
` " " = ( 4 sin 20^(@) cos 20^(@) + sin 20^(@))/( cos 20^(@))`
`" " = ( 2 sin 40^(@) + sin 20^(@))/( cos 20^(@))`
`" " = (sin 40^(@) + ( sin 40^(@) + sin 20^(@))/(cos 20^(@))`
` ( sin 40^(@) + 2 sin 30^(@) cos 10^(@))/(cos 20^(@))`
`= ( sin 40^(@) + cos 10^(@))/( cos 20^(@))`
`= (cos 50^(@) + cos 10^(@))/(cos 20^(@))`
`= ( 2 cos 30^(@) cos 20^(@))/(cos 20^(@))`
` = sqrt3`

`= (( sin 33^(@))/( (1)/(4) sin 33^(@)))^(2) + ( ( cos 33^(@))/( (1)/(4) cos 33^(@)))^(2)`
` = 16 + 16 = 32`

The expression `(1+sin22^@sin33^@sin35^@)/(cos^2 22^@+cos^2 33^@+cos^2 35^@)` simplifies to

Answer» Correct Answer - 0.5
Let `(A)/(2) = 22^(@), (B)/(2) = 33^(@), (C )/(2) = 35^(@)`
`rArr A +B+C= 180^(@)`
In `DeltaABC, cos^(2) ""(A)/(2) + cos^(2)""(B)/(2) +cos^(2) ""(C )/(2)`
`= 2+ 2 sin ""(A)/(2)* sin""(B)/(2)* sin ""(C )/(2)`
Hence, `(1+ sin 22^(@) sin 33^(@) sin 35^(@))/(cos ^(2) 22^(@) + cos ^(2) 33^(@) + cos ^(2) 35^(@)) = (1)/(2)`

If `sin(x +3alpha)=3 sin (alpha-x)`, thenA. `tan x = tan alpha`B. `tan x = tan^(2)alpha`C. `tan x = tan^(3)alpha`D. `tan x=3 tan alpha`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`sin (x+3alpha)=3 sin (alpha - x)`
`rArr sin x cos 3alpha + sin 3 alpha cos x = 3 (sin alpha cos x - sin x cos alpha)`
`rArr sin x(cos 3alpha + 3 cos alpha) = cos x(3 sin alpha - sin 3 alpha)`
`rArr tan x = (4sin^(3)alpha)/(4 cos^(3)alpha)=tan^(3)alpha`
