(b) 4
4
(c) 5
5
(d) 3
Solution:
The correct answer is option(b).
4
Given,𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝐴 = 5
We have to find the value of tan A.
We know, cos A = Adjacent / Hypotenuse
Adjacent = 4
Hypotenuse = 5
Using the Pythagorean theorem,
(Hypotenuse)2 = (Opposite)2 + (Adjacent)2
(5)2 = (opposite)2 + (4)2
25 = (opposite)2 + 16
(opposite)2 = 25 - 16
(opposite)2 = 9
Opposite = 3
We know, tan A = opposite/adjacent
3
𝑡𝑎𝑛 𝐴 = 4

Therefore, the value of tan A is 4

Question: 2) In a right angled △ABC, 𝑡𝑎𝑛 𝐵 = 5
, then find sin B.
Solution:
12
Given,𝑡𝑎𝑛 𝐵 = 5
We have to find the value of sin B.
𝑂𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒
We know, 𝑡𝑎𝑛 𝐵 = 𝐴𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡
Adjacent = 5
Opposite = 12
Using the Pythagorean theorem,
(Hypotenuse)2 = (Opposite)2 + (Adjacent)2
 (Hypotenuse)2 = (12)2 + (5)2
(Hypotenuse)2 = 144 + 25
(Hypotenuse)2 = 169
Hypotenuse = 13
We know Sin B = opposite / hypotenuse
12
𝑆𝑖𝑛𝐵 = 13
12
Therefore, the value of Sin B is 13

3
(c) 2
(d) 1
Solution:
The correct option is (a).
1
Given, 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝐴 = 2
,
We have to find the value of cot A.
We know that sin A = opposite/hypotenuse
Opposite = 1
Hypotenuse = 2
Using the Pythagorean theorem,
(hypotenuse)2 = (opposite)2 + (adjacent)2
(2)2 = (adjacent)2 = (1)2
4 = (adjacent)2 + 1
4 = (adjacent)2 + 1
(adjacent)2 = 4 - 1
(adjacent)2 = 3
Taking square root,
Adjacent = 3
We know that cot A = adjacent / opposite
3
𝑐𝑜𝑡 𝐴 = 1

Therefore, the value of cot A is 3

Question: 4) In a right triangle, the length of the base is 3 cm, hypotenuse is 5 cm. Find the
value of the missing side.
Solution:
Given: Hypotenuse = 5, Adjacent = 3
 Using the Pythagorean theorem,
(hypotenuse)2 = (opposite)2 + (adjacent)2
(5)2 = (opposite)2 + (3)2
(opposite)2 = 25 - 9
(opposite)2 = 16
opposite = 4 cm

sin 𝜃 = 5
𝑂𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒 4
𝐻𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒
= 5

Using the Pythagorean theorem,

(hypotenuse)2 = (opposite)2 + (adjacent)2
(5)2 = (4)2 + (adjacent)2
(adjacent)2 = (5)2 - (4)2 = 25 - 16 = 9
adjacent = 3
Hypotenuse = 5, Opposite side = 4, Adjacent = 3

Given, 𝑠𝑖𝑛 θ = 𝑏
We have to find the value of cos 𝜃.
We know that sin A = opposite/hypotenuse
Opposite = a
Hypotenuse = b
Using the Pythagorean theorem,
(hypotenuse)2 = (opposite)2 + (adjacent)2
(b)2 = (adjacent)2 + (a)2
(adjacent)2 = b2 - a2
Taking square root,
2 2
Adjacent = 𝑏 − 𝑎
We know that cos A = adjacent / hypotenuse

Question: 11) The value of (sin 30° + cos 30°) - (sin60° + cos60° ) is
(a) -1
(b) 0
(c) 1
(d) 2
Solution:
We have to find the value of (sin 30° + cos 30°) - (sin 60° + cos 60°).
Using the trigonometric identities,
sin 30° = 1/2
cos 30°= √3/2
sin 60° = √3/2
cos 60° = 1/2
(sin 30°+ cos 30°) =1/2+ √3/2= (1+ √3)/2
(sin 60° + cos 60°) = √3/2+1/2 = (√3+1)/2
(sin 30° + cos 30°) - (sin 60° + cos 60°) = ((1+ √3)/2) - ((√3+1)/2)
=1/2+√3/2- √3/2-1/2
=0
Therefore, the value of (sin 30° + cos 30°) - (sin 60° + cos 60°) is 0.
Question: 12) ( 2

Question: 13) If tan(A + B) = √3 and tan(A - B) = 1 / √3, 0° < A + B < 90°, A > B, then the
values of A and B respectively are:
(a) 60°, 30°
(b) 60°, 45°
(c) 45°, 15°
(d) 60°, 15°
Solution:
We use the trigonometric table and the trigonometric identities to solve
the problem.
Given that, tan (A + B) =√3 and, tan (A - B) =1/√3
Since, tan 60° = √3 and tan 30° = 1/√3
Therefore, tan (A + B) = tan 60°
(A +B) =60° ... (i)
tan (A - B) = tan 30°
(A -B) = 30° ... (ii)
On adding both equations (i) and (ii), we obtain:
A + B + A - B = 60°+30°
2A =90°
A= 45°
By substituting the value of A in equation (i) we obtain
A+B=60°
45°+ B=60°
B=60°-45°=15°
Therefore, ∠A = 45° and ∠B = 15° (A > B).

Question: 21) Which of the following is true for all values of 𝜃 (0° ≤ 𝜃 ≤ 90°) ?
(a) cos2𝜃 - sin2𝜃 = 1
(b) cosec2𝜃 - sec2𝜃 = 1
(c) sec2𝜃 - tan2𝜃 = 1
(d) cot2𝜃 - tan2𝜃 = 1
Solution:
From the Trigonometric ratios formula we know.
sin2𝜃 + cos2 𝜃 = 1
cosec2𝜃 - cot2𝜃 = 1
sec2𝜃 - tan2𝜃 = 1.
So the correct answer is (c)

Question: 22) Prove that sin6𝜃 + cos6𝜃 + 3sin2𝜃 cos2𝜃 = 1

Solution:
We know that sin2𝜃 + cos2𝜃 = 1
Therefore, (sin2𝜃 + cos2𝜃)3 = 1
or, (sin2𝜃)3 + (cos2𝜃)3 + 3sin2𝜃 cos2𝜃 (sin2𝜃 + cos2𝜃) = 1
or, sin6𝜃 + cos6𝜃 + 3sin2𝜃 cos2𝜃 = 1

Question: 23) Prove that (sin4𝜃 - cos4𝜃 + 1) cosec2𝜃 = 2

Solution:
L.H.S = (sin4𝜃 - cos4𝜃 + 1) cosec2𝜃
= [(sin2𝜃 - cos2𝜃) (sin2𝜃 + cos2𝜃) + 1] cosec2𝜃
= (sin2𝜃 - cos2𝜃 + 1) cosec2𝜃
[Because sin2𝜃 + cos2𝜃 = 1]
= 2sin2𝜃 cosec2𝜃 [Because 1 - cos2𝜃 = sin2𝜃]
= 2 = RHS
Question: 24) If sin 𝜃 + cos 𝜃 = √3, then prove that tan 𝜃 + cot 𝜃 = 1
Solution:
sin 𝜃 + cos 𝜃 = √3 (Given)
2
or (sin 𝜃 + cos 𝜃) = 3
or sin2 𝜃 + cos2𝜃 + 2sin𝜃 cos𝜃 = 3
2 sin 𝜃 cos 𝜃 = 2 [sin2𝜃 + cos2𝜃 = 1]
or sin 𝜃 cos 𝜃 = 1 = sin2𝜃 + cos2𝜃
2 2
𝑠𝑖𝑛 θ+𝑐𝑜𝑠 θ
or 1 = 𝑠𝑖𝑛θ.𝑐𝑜𝑠θ
Therefore, tan𝜃 + cot𝜃 = 1

Question: 25) Simplify (1 + tan2 𝜃) (1 - sin𝜃)(1 + sin𝜃)

Solution:
It is given that
(1 + tan2 𝜃)(1- sin𝜃)(1 + sin𝜃)
As 1 + tan2𝜃 = sec2𝜃
So we can write it as
= sec2𝜃 (1 - sin𝜃) (1 + sin𝜃)
Using the algebraic identity
a2 - b2 = (a + b) (a - b)
We get
= sec2𝜃(1 - sin2𝜃)
We know that
1 - sin2𝜃 = cos2𝜃
By substituting it
= sec2𝜃 cos2𝜃
Here cos2𝜃 = 1/sec2𝜃
So we get
= sec2𝜃.1/sec2𝜃
=1
Therefore, by simplification, we get 1.

Question: 26) If sin𝜃 + cos 𝜃 = p and sec 𝜃 + cosec 𝜃 = q, the prove that q(p2 - 1) = 2p
Solution:
Given, sin 𝜃 + cos 𝜃 = p and sec𝜃 + cosec𝜃 = q
We have to prove that q(p2 - 1) = 2p
Considering LHS : q(p2 - 1)
Substituting the value of p and q,
(sec𝜃 + cosec𝜃)[(sin𝜃 + cos𝜃)2 - 1]
By using algebraic identity,
 (a + b)2 + a2 + 2ab + b2
(sin𝜃 + cos𝜃)2 = sin2𝜃 + 2sin𝜃cos𝜃 + cos2𝜃
By using trigonometric identity,
cos2A + sin2A = 1
So, sin2𝜃 + 2sin𝜃cos𝜃 + cos2𝜃 = 1 + 2sin𝜃cos𝜃
Now, [(sin𝜃 + cos𝜃)2 - 1] = 1 + 2sin𝜃cos𝜃 - 1 = 2sin𝜃 cos𝜃
Now, (sec𝜃 + cosec𝜃)[(sin𝜃 + cos𝜃)2 - 1] = (sec𝜃 + cosec𝜃) (2sin𝜃 cos𝜃)
We know that sec A = 1/cos A and cosec A = 1/sin A
= (1/cos𝜃 + 1/sin𝜃) (2sin𝜃 cos𝜃)
On simplification,
=[(sin𝜃 + cos𝜃)/sin𝜃 cos𝜃] (2sin𝜃 cos𝜃)
= 2(sin𝜃 + cos𝜃)
= 2p
= RHS
LHS = RHS
Therefore, q(p2 - 1) = 2p.

Question: 27) If cos 𝜃 + sin 𝜃 = √2 cos 𝜃, then cos 𝜃 - sin 𝜃 equals :

1
(a) 𝑠𝑖𝑛θ
2

(b) 2𝑠𝑖𝑛θ
(c) 2 𝑠𝑖𝑛θ
1
(d) 2
𝑠𝑖𝑛θ
Solution:
We have
cos𝜃 + sin 𝜃 = 2𝑐𝑜𝑠θ
Squaring both side,
(cos𝜃 + sin𝜃)2 = 2 cos2𝜃
⇒ cos2𝜃 + sin2𝜃 + 2sin𝜃 . cos𝜃 = 2 cos2𝜃
⇒ 2 sin𝜃 . cos𝜃 = 2 cos2𝜃 - cos2𝜃 - sin2𝜃
⇒ 2 sin𝜃 . cos𝜃 = cos2𝜃 - sin2𝜃
⇒ 2 sin𝜃 . cos𝜃 = (cos𝜃 + sin𝜃) (cos𝜃 - sin𝜃)
⇒ 2 sin𝜃 . cos𝜃 = (cos𝜃 - sin𝜃) × √2 cos 𝜃
⇒ cos𝜃 - sin𝜃 = √2 sin 𝜃
So the option (b) is correct.

= sin2A + cosA cosA
