Questions : What is ${cos θ}/{1 + sin θ} + 1/{cot θ}$ equal to?

(a) sec θ

(b) cosec θ

(c) sec θ + cosec θ

(d) cosec θ – cot θ

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (a)

${\text"cos θ"}/{\text"1 + sin θ"} + {\text"sin θ"}/{\text"cos θ"} = {cos^2 + sin θ^2 \text"+ sin θ"}/{(\text"1 + sin θ)cos θ"}$

= $1/{\text"cos θ"}$ = sec θ

Question : 1

If tan (x + 40)° tan (x + 20)° tan (3x)° tan (70 – x)° tan (50 – x)° = 1, then the value of x is equal to

a) 20

b) 30

c) 15

d) 10

Answer: (c)

tan(x + 40)° tan (x + 20)° tan 3x° tan (70 - x)° tan (50 - x)° = 1

⇒ tan(x + 40) tan(x + 20) tan 3x cot [90 - (70 - x)] cot [90 - (50 - x)] = 1

⇒ tan(x + 40) tan (x + 20) tan 3x cot (x + 20) cot (x + 40) = 1

⇒ tan 3x = tan 45°

⇒ 3x = 45°

⇒ x = 15°

So, option (c) is correct.

Question : 2

ABC is a right triangle with right angle at A. If the value of tan B = $1/{√3}$, then for any real k the length of the hypotenuse is of the form

a) 2 k

b) 3 k

c) 5 k

d) 9 k

Answer: (a)

Given,

In ΔABC,

trigonometric-ratios-and-identities-aptitude-mcq

tan B = $k/{√3 k}$

By Pythogaros theorem,

$AB^2 + AC^2 = BC^2$

⇒ $(√3 k)^2 + (1k)^2 = BC^2$

⇒ $BC^2 = 4k^2$

⇒ BC = 2k

Question : 3

What is the value of tan1° tan2° tan3° tan4° ... tan89° ?

a) 1

b) 0

c) 2

d) $√3$

Answer: (a)

tan1° tan2° tan3° tan4°.......tan 89°

tan1° tan2° ......tan45°......tan 89°

= 1

Question : 4

If x lies in the first quadrant and cos x = $5/{13}$, what is the value of tan x – cot x?

a) ${139}/{60}$

b) ${–139}/{60}$

c) ${119}/{60}$

d) None of these

Answer: (c)

Given that, cos x = $5/{13} = {Base}/{Hypotenuse}$

P = $√{h^2 - b^2} = √{13^2 - 5^2}$

= $√{169 - 25} = √{144}$ = 12

∴ tan x - cot x = $p/b - b/p$

= ${12}/5 - 5/{12} = {144 - 25}/{60} = {119}/{6}$

Question : 5

What is the value of x in the equation $x {cosec^2 30 ° sec^2 45 °}/{8 cos^2 45 ° sin^2 60 °} = tan^2 60° – tan^2 30° $ ?

a) x = 2

b) x = 1

c) x = $1/2$

d) x = $3/2$

Answer: (b)

Given, x ${cosec^2 30° sec^2 45°}/{8 cos^2 45° sin^2 60°} = tan^2 60° - tan^2 30°$

⇒ ${x × (2)^2 × (√2)^2}/{8 × (1/{√2})^2 × ({√3}/2)^2} = (√3)^2 - (1/{√3})^2$

⇒ ${x × 4 × 2 × 4}/{8 × 1/2 × 3} = 3 - 1/3$

⇒ ${8x}/3 = 8/3 ⇒$ x = 1

Question : 6

Suppose 0 < θ < 90°, then for every θ, 4 $sin^2$ θ + 1 is greater than or equal to

a) 4 sin θ

b) 2

c) 4 cos θ

d) 4 tan θ

Answer: (a)

Let 4 $sin^2$ θ + 1 ≥ 4 sin θ

4 $sin^2$ θ - 4 sin θ + 1 ≥ 0

$(2 sin θ - 1)^2 ≥ 0$

sin θ ≥ $1/2$
