REPLICA QUESTIONS
MATHEMATICS
Trigonometric Equations (Replica Question)
1: The sum of all values of   [0, 2] satisfying 3cos2 – 2 3 sin cos – 3sin2 = 0 and tan + 2
tan2 + 4 tan4 + 8 cot8 = 3 is

3 5 4 4
(1) (2) (3) (4)
4 4 3 5
Ans: (3)
Sol: The given equation can be written as (cos   0): 3 tan2 + 23 tan – 3 = 0

2 3  12  36 2 3  4 3 1
 tan = =  , 3 .
6 6 3
1 
Either tan =  tan or tan =  3 = tan(2/3)
3 6

∵ cotA – tanA = 2 cot2A  tanA = cotA – 2 cot 2A.


Given that, tan + 2 tan2 + 4 tan4 + 8 cot8 = 3 .
 cot   2cot 2  2  cot 2  2cot 4    4  cot 4  2 cot 8   8 cot 8  3 .

1
 cot   3  tan   .
3
1  7
So common equation which satisfy both equations is tan   = , .

2: The sum of all values of x [0, 2] satisfying tan x + sec x = 2 cos x and 1 + cos 2x = 3 sinx is
 5
(1) (2) 4 (3) (4) 
2 6
Ans: (4)
  sin x
Sol: The given equation can be written as:  2cos x .
cos x
 1 + sin x = 2cos2x = 2(1 – sin2x)  2 sin2x + sin x – 1 = 0
1
 (1 + sin x)(2sin x – 1) = 0  sin x = 1 or
2
1
If sin x = 1  tan x and sec x are not defined  sin x = .
2
Also given that 1 + cos 2x = 3 sin x  1 + 1 – 2sin2x = 3sinx  2 – 2sin2x – 3sinx = 0
 2sin2x + 3sinx – 2 = 0
1
 (2sinx – 1)(sinx + 2) = 0  sin x 
2
1
So common equation which satisfy both equations is sin x  .
2
 5
Since x[0, 2]  x  , .

1. f(x + y) = f(x).f(y)
 f(x) = ex f (0) = 4a
 f (x) = e x   =4a
So, f(x) = e4ax
f (x) – 3af (x) –f(x) =0
  2 – 3a-1=0

KEY&SOL
1. Ans: 3
Sol: It is given that f ( x  y ), f ( x ) f ( y ) and f ( x  y ) are in A.P. for all x, y  R .
 2 f ( x) f ( y )  f ( x  y )  f ( x  y ) for all x, y  R ……..(i)
Putting x  y  0, we get
2{ f (0) 2  2 f (0)
 f (0) { f (0)  1}  0 f (0)  1 [  f (0)  0]
Putting x  0 and y  x in (i), we get
2 f (0) f ( x)  f (  x)  f ( x) for all x  R
 2 f ( x)  f ( x)  f ( x) for all x  R
 f ( x)  f ( x) for all x  R
 f ( x ) is an even function
 f ( x) is an odd function
 f ( 1)  f (1) and f ( 3)   f (3)  f (1)  f ( 1) and f (3)  f ( 3)  0
2. Ans: 2
Sol: We have,
f ( x )  f ( y )  f ( z )  f ( x ) f ( y ) f ( z )  14 for all x, y, z  R …(i)
Putting x  y  z  0, we get
3 f (0)  { f (0)}3  14
 { f (0)}3  3 f (0)  14  0  f (0)  2

275
Now, putting y  z  x in (i), we get 3 f ( x)  { f ( x)}3  14 for all x  R
Differentiating with respect to x, we get
3 f ( x)  2{ f ( x)}2 f ( x)  0 for all x  R
 {{ f ( x)}2  1} f ( x)  0 for all x  R  f ( x)  0 for all x  R
