Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (C)
In $\triangle$$ABC, AB^2 = AC^2 + BC^2$
=> $c^2 = a^2 + b^2 => c^2 – b^2 = a^2$
$cosecB = \frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{c}{b}$
$cosA = \frac{AC}{AB} = \frac{b}{c}$
$\therefore cosecB – cosA = \frac{c}{b} – \frac{b}{c}$
= $\frac{c^2-b^2}{bc} = \frac{a^2}{bc}$
2) Answer (C)
Expression : $tan\theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{11}}$
We know that, $sec\theta = \sqrt{1 + tan^2 \theta}$
=> $sec\theta = \sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{11}} = \sqrt{\frac{12}{11}}$
Now, $cosec\theta = \frac{sec\theta}{tan\theta}$
=> $cosec\theta = \sqrt{12}$
To find : $\frac{cosec^{2}\theta-\sec^2\theta}{cosec^2\theta+\sec^2\theta}$
= $\frac{12 – \frac{12}{11}}{12 + \frac{12}{11}}$
= $\frac{1 – \frac{1}{11}}{1 + \frac{1}{11}}$
= $\frac{10}{12} = \frac{5}{6}$
3) Answer (C)
$\frac{sin\theta}{x} = \frac{cos\theta}{y}$
Reaaranging the given data , we get
${tan\theta}$ = $\frac{x}{y}$
Now taking ${cos\theta}$ common from $sin\theta-cos\theta$,we get
= $cos\theta{(tan\theta) – 1}$…………(1)
Imagine a right angle triangle
From this triangle , we can calculate values of $cos\theta$ and $tan\theta$ and hence putting the values in equation 1
we get = $\frac{y}{\surd (x^2 + y^2)}$ ($\frac{x}{y} $- 1)
= $\frac{x-y}{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}}$
4) Answer (C)
sin 60° = $\frac{\sqrt(3)}{2}$
tan 30 = $\frac{1}{\sqrt(3)}$
sec 60 = 2
cot 45 = 1
x $\frac{\sqrt(3)}{2}$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt(3)}$ = $(2\times1)$
x = 4
5) Answer (C)
Let the common radius be “r” units
area of sphere = 4$\pi r^2$
area of hemi-sphere = 2$\pi r^2$ + $\pi r^2$ = 3$\pi r^2$
$\frac{\text{Area of Sphere}}{\text{Area of Hemisphere}}$ = $\frac{4\pi r^2}{ 3\pi r^2}$
= $\frac{4}{3}$
6) Answer (A)
Given, xsinθ -ycosθ = 0
y=xsinθcosθ
⇒y=xsinθcosθ
Given the expression:
xsin$^3$θ + ycos$^3$θ = sinθcosθ
Replacing the value of y we get,
xsin$^3$θ+(xsinθ/cosθ)×cos$^3$θ=sinθcosθ
x sin3θ + x sinθcos$^2$θ = sinθcosθ
x sinθ × (sin2θ + cos2θ) = sinθcosθ
We know the identity: sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
x = cosθ
y=xsinθ/cosθ
y = sinθ
Hence,
x$^2$ + y$^2$ = cos$^2$θ + sin$^2$θ
= 1
Option A is the correct answer.
7) Answer (A)
$2-cos^2 \theta = 1+1-cos^2 \theta = 1+sin^2 \theta$
Dividing the LHS and RHS by $cos^2\theta$
$1+sin^2 \theta = sec^2 \theta + tan^2 \theta$
$3sin \theta cos \theta = 3 tan \theta$
$sec ^2 \theta + tan^2 \theta = 3tan \theta$
$sec ^2 \theta = 1+tan^2 \theta$
$1+tan^2 \theta+tan^2 \theta = 3tan \theta$
$1+2tan^2 \theta = 3tan \theta$
$2tan^2 \theta – 3tan \theta + 1 =0$
let x=$tan \theta$
The equation becomes
$2x^2 + 3x + 1=0$
On solving for x we get x=$1$ and x=$\frac{1}{2}$
Option A is the correct answer.
8) Answer (D)
To find : $\frac{a sin \theta + b cos \theta}{a sin \theta – b cos\theta}$
Dividing numerator and denominator by $cos \theta$, we get :
= $\frac{a tan \theta + b}{a tan \theta – b}$
Also, it is given that $tanθ = \frac{a}{b}$
= $\frac{a \times \frac{a}{b} + b}{a \times \frac{a}{b} – b}$
= $\frac{\frac{a^2 + b^2}{b}}{\frac{a^2 – b^2}{b}}$
= $\frac{a^2 + b^2}{a^2 – b^2}$
9) Answer (A)
Expression : $sin θ + cos θ = \sqrt{2} sin (90^{\circ} – θ)$
=> $sin \theta + cos \theta = \sqrt{2} cos \theta$
=> $sin \theta = cos \theta (\sqrt{2} – 1)$
=> $\frac{cos \theta}{sin \theta} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} – 1}$
=> $cot \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} – 1} \times \frac{\sqrt{2} + 1}{\sqrt{2} + 1}$
=> $cot \theta = \sqrt{2} + 1$
10) Answer (C)
Expression : cosec 11π/6
= $cosec(2\pi – \frac{\pi}{6})$
= $-cosec(\frac{\pi}{6}) = -2$
=> Ans – (C)
