Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (A)

Taking $cos\theta$ outside in numerator and in denominator and making $tan\theta$
hence eq will be  $(\frac{5tan\theta – 3}{5tan\theta + 3})$
As it is given that $5tan\theta$ = 4
after putting values and solving we will get the equation reduced to 1/7.

2) Answer (A)

$4sec^2\theta+9cosec^2\theta$
or $4+4tan^2\theta+9+9cot^2\theta$
or $13+4tan^2\theta+9cot^2\theta$
or $ 13+4tan^2\theta+\frac{9}{tan^2\theta} $
or $  13-12+(2tan\theta+\frac{3}{tan\theta})^2 $    (eq. (1) )
or now above expression to be minimum, equation $(2tan\theta+\frac{3}{tan\theta})^2$ should be minimum.
So applying $A.M.\geq G.M. $
$\frac{(2tan\theta +\frac{3}{tan\theta})}{2} \geq \sqrt{6}$
or ${(2tan\theta+\frac{3}{tan\theta})}=2\sqrt{6}$ ( for value to be minimum)
After putting above value in eq.(1) , we will get least value of expression as 25.

3) Answer (B)

$x=cosec\theta – sin\theta=\frac{cos^2\theta}{sin\theta}=cot\theta cos\theta$
Similarly $y=tan\theta sin\theta$
$xy=sin\theta cos\theta$
$x^2+y^2+3=(sec^2\theta +cosec^2\theta )$
Now putting above values in given equation, and after solving it will be reduced to 1

4) Answer (A)

$2y=tan\theta$
$x=2ycosec\theta$
Hence value of $x^2 – 4y^2 $ = $4y^2(cosec^2\theta – 1)$
or $tan^2\theta cot^2\theta$ = 1

5) Answer (A)

Given equation can be written as $(cos^4\theta + cos^2\theta)^3 -1$
as $sin\theta + sin^2\theta = 1$
or $sin\theta = cos^2\theta$
putting above value in given equation it will be
$(sin^2\theta + sin\theta)^3 -1 = 0$

6) Answer (A)

$\frac{sin\theta}{1-cos\theta} – \frac{1}{sin\theta}$

or $\frac{cos\theta – cos^2\theta}{(1-cos\theta)sin\theta}$ = $cot\theta$

7) Answer (C)

$\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1$
So, $\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta + 2\sin\theta * \cos \theta = 2 \cos^2\theta$
Hence, $\cos^2 \theta – \sin^2 \theta = 2 \sin\theta*\cos\theta$
So, $\cos\theta – \sin\theta = \sqrt{2}\sin\theta$

8) Answer (B)

$cos^4\theta-sin^4\theta=(cos^2\theta-sin^2\theta)(cos^2\theta+sin^2\theta)=cos^2\theta-sin^2\theta=\frac{2}{3}$
$cos^2\theta-sin^2\theta =1-2sin^2\theta=\frac{2}{3}$

9) Answer (A)

$\frac{sin \theta}{cos \theta} = \frac{3}{4}$
So, $\frac{sin^2\theta}{cos^2\theta}=\frac{9}{16}$
Hence, $sin^2 \theta = \frac{9}{9+16}=\frac{9}{25}$
So, $cosec \theta = \frac{5}{3}$

10) Answer (A)

$1 + \tan ^2 \theta = \sec ^2 \theta$
$1 + \cot ^2 \theta = \csc ^2 \theta$
So, the given fraction becomes,

$\frac{1}{\sec ^2 \theta} + \frac{1}{\csc ^2 \theta} = \sin^2\theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1$
