I. Select the correct option from the given alternatives.

Question 1.
The value of sin(n + 1) A sin(n + 2) A + cos(n + 1) A cos(n + 2) A is equal to
(a) sin A
(b) cos A
(c) -cos A
(d) sin 2A
Answer:
(b) cos A
Hint:
L.H.S. = sin [(n + 1)A] . sin [(n + 2)A] + cos [(n + 1)A] . cos [(n + 2)A]
= cos [(n + 2)A] . cos [(n + 1)A] + sin [(n + 2)A] . sin [(n + 1)A]
Let (n + 2)A = a and (n + 1)A = b … (i)
∴ L.H.S. = cos a . cos b + sin a . sin b
= cos (a – b)
= cos [(n + 2)A – (n + 1)A] ……..[From (i)]
= cos [(n + 2 – n – 1)A]
= cos A
= R.H.S.

(b) 2 sin α cos β sin γ
(c) 2 sin α sin β cos γ
(d) 2 sin α sin β sin γ
Answer:

Hint:
sin² α + sin² β – sin² γ
= \(\frac{1-\cos 2 \alpha}{2}+\frac{1-\cos 2 \beta}{2}-\sin ^{2} \gamma\)
= 1 – \(\frac{1}{2}\) (cos 2α + cos 2β) – 1 + cos² γ
= \(\frac{-1}{2}\) × 2 cos(α + β) cos(α – β) + cos² γ
= cos γ cos (α – β) + cos² γ …..[∵ α + β + γ = π]
= cos γ [cos (α – β) + cos γ]
= cos γ [cos (α – β) – cos (α + β)]
= 2 sin α sin β cos γ

Question 8.
Let 0 < A, B < \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) satisfying the equation 3sin² A + 2sin² B = 1 and 3sin 2A – 2sin 2B = 0, then A + 2B is equal to ________
(a) π
(b) \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
(c) \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
(d) 2π
Answer:
(b) \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
Hint:
3 sin 2A – 2sin 2B = 0
sin 2B = \(\frac{3}{2}\) sin 2A …….(i)
3 sin² A + 2 sin² B = 1
3 sin² A = 1 – 2 sin² B
3 sin² A = cos 2B ……(ii)
cos(A + 2B) = cos A cos 2B – sin A sin 2B
= cos A (3 sin² A) – sin A (\(\frac{3}{2}\) sin 2A) …..[From (i) and (ii)]
= 3 cos A sin² A – \(\frac{3}{2}\) (sin A) (2 sin A cos A)
= 3 cos A sin² A – 3 sin² A cos A
= 0
= cos \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
∴ A + 2B = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) ……..[∵ 0 < A + 2B < \(\frac{3 \pi}{2}\)]

Question 9.
In ∆ABC if cot A cot B cot C > 0, then the triangle is ________
(a) acute-angled
(b) right-angled
(c) obtuse-angled
(d) isosceles right-angled
Answer:
(a) acute angled
Hint:
cot A cot B cot C > 0
Case I:
cot A, cot B, cot C > 0
∴ cot A > 0, cot B > 0, cot C > 0
∴ 0 < A < \(\frac{\pi}{2}\), 0 < B < \(\frac{\pi}{2}\), 0 < C < \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
∴ ∆ABC is an acute angled triangle.
Case II:
Two of cot A, cot B, cot C < 0
0 < A, B, C < π and two of cot A, cot B, cot C < 0
∴ Two angles A, B, C are in the 2nd quadrant which is not possible.

(a) √3
(b) \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
(c) 2√3
(d) \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{3}}\)
Answer:
(a) √3
Hint:
L.H.S. = tan 20° tan 80° cot 50°
= tan 20° tan 80° cot (90° – 40°)
= tan 20° tan 80° tan 40°
= tan 20° tan (60° + 20°) tan (60° – 20°)

= tan 3(20°)
= tan 60°
= √3
= R.H.S.

II. Prove the following.

Question 1.
tan 20° tan 80° cot 50° = √3
Solution:
L.H.S. = tan 20° tan 80° cot 50°
= tan 20° tan 80° cot (90° – 40°)
= tan 20° tan 80° tan 40°
= tan 20° tan (60° + 20°) tan (60° – 20°)

= tan 3(20°)
= tan 60°
= √3
= R.H.S.

Question 2.
If sin α sin β – cos α cos β + 1 = 0, then prove that cot α tan β = -1.
Solution:
sin α sin β – cos α cos β + 1 = 0
∴ cos α cos β – sin α sin β = 1
∴ cos (α + β) = 1
∴ α + β = 0 ……[∵ cos 0 = 1]
∴ β = -α
L.H.S. = cot α tan β
= cot α tan(-α)
= -cot α tan α
= -1
= R.H.S.

Question 3.

Solution:

Question 16.
cosec 48° + cosec 96° + cosec 192° + cosec 384° = 0
Solution:
L.H.S. = cosec 48° + cosec 96° + cosec 192° + cosec 384°
= cosec 48° + cosec (180° – 84°) + cosec (180° + 12°) + cosec (360° + 24°)
= cosec 48° + cosec 84° + cosec (-12°) + cosec 24°

Question 17.
3(sin x – cos x)⁴ + 6(sin x + cos x)² + 4(sin⁶ x + cos⁶ x) = 13
Solution:
(sin x – cos x)⁴
= [(sin x – cos x)²]²
= (sin² x + cos² x – 2 sin x cos x)²
= (1 – 2 sin x cosx)²
= 1 – 4 sin x cos x + 4 sin² x cos² x
(sin x + cos x)² = sin² x + cos² x + 2 sin x cos x = 1 + 2 sin x cos x
sin⁶ x + cos⁶ x
= (sin² x)³ + (cos² x)³
= (sin² x + cos² x)³ – 3 sin² x cos² x (sin² x + cos² x) …..[∵ a³ + b³ = (a + b)³ – 3ab(a + b)]
= 1³ – 3 sin² x cos² x (1)
= 1 – 3 sin² x cos² x
L.H.S. = 3(sin x – cos x)⁴ + 6(sin x + cos x)² + 4(sin⁶ x + cos⁶ x)
= 3(1 – 4 sin x cos x + 4 sin² x cos² x) + 6(1 + 2 sin x cos x) + 4(1 – 3 sin² x cos² x)
= 3 – 12 sin x cos x + 12 sin² x cos² x + 6 + 12 sin x cos x + 4 – 12 sin² x cos² x
= 13
= R.H.S.

Question 18.
tan A + 2 tan 2A + 4 tan 4A + 8 cot 8A = cot A
Solution:
We have to prove that,
tan A + 2 tan 2A + 4 tan 4A + 8 cot 8A = cot A
i.e., to prove,
cot A – tan A – 2 tan 2A – 4 tan 4A – 8 cot 8A = 0

∴ cot θ – tan θ = 2 cot 2θ …..(i)
L.H.S. = cot A – tan A – 2 tan 2A – 4 tan 4A – 8 cot 8A
= 2 cot 2A – 2 tan 2A – 4 tan 4A – 8 cot 8A …..[From (i)]
= 2(cot 2A – tan 2A) – 4 tan 4A – 8 cot 8A
= 2 × 2 cot 2(2A) – 4 tan 4A – 8 cot 8A ……[From (i)]
= 4(cot 4A – tan 4A) – 8 cot 8A
= 4 × 2 cot 2(4A) – 8 cot 8A ……[From (i)]
= 8 cot 8A – 8 cot 8A = 0
= R.H.S.

Question 19.
If A + B + C = \(\frac{3 \pi}{2}\), then cos 2A + cos 2B + cos 2C = 1 – 4 sin A sin B sin C
Solution:

Question 20.
In any triangle ABC, sin A – cos B = cos C. Show that ∠B = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\).
Solution:
sin A – cos B = cos C
∴ sin A = cos B + cos C

A = B – C ………(i)
In ∆ABC,
A + B + C = π
∴ B – C + B + C = π
∴ 2B = π
∴ B = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)

Question 21.
\(\frac{\tan ^{3} x}{1+\tan ^{2} x}+\frac{\cot ^{3} x}{1+\cot ^{2} x}\) = sec x cosec x – 2 sin x cos x
Solution:

Question 22.
sin 20° sin 40° sin 80° = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{8}\)
Solution:
L.H.S. = sin 20°. sin 40°. sin 80°
= sin 20°. sin 40°. sin 80°
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) (2 . sin 40°. sin 20°) . sin 80°
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [cos(40° – 20°) – cos (40° + 20°)] . sin 80°
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) (cos 20° – cos 60°) sin 80°
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) . cos 20° . sin 80° – \(\frac{1}{2}\) . cos 60° . sin 80°
= \(\frac{1}{2 \times 2}\) (2 sin 80° . cos 20°) – \(\frac{1}{2 \times 2}\) . sin 80°
= \(\frac{1}{4}\) [sin(80° + 20°) + sin (80° – 20°)] – \(\frac{1}{2}\) . sin 80°

Question 23.
sin 18° = \(\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{4}\)
Solution:
Let θ = 18°
∴ 5θ = 90°
∴ 2θ + 3θ = 90°
∴ 2θ = 90° – 3θ
∴ sin 2θ = sin (90° – 3θ)
∴ sin 2θ = cos 3θ
∴ 2 sin θ cos θ = 4 cos³ θ – 3 cos θ
∴ 2 sin θ = 4 cos² θ – 3 …..[∵ cos θ ≠ 0]
∴ 2 sin θ = 4 (1 – sin² θ) – 3
∴ 2 sin θ = 1 – 4 sin² θ
∴ 4 sin² θ + 2 sin θ – 1 = 0
∴ sin θ = \(\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4+16}}{8}\)
= \(\frac{-2 \pm 2 \sqrt{5}}{8}\)
= \(\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{5}}{4}\)
Since, sin 18° > 0
∴ sin 18°= \(\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{4}\)

Question 24.
cos 36° = \(\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4}\)
Solution:
We know that,
cos 2θ = 1 – 2 sin² θ
cos 36° = cos 2(18°)
= 1 – 2 sin² 18°

∴ cos 36° = \(\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4}\)

Question 25.
sin 36° = \(\frac{\sqrt{10-2 \sqrt{5}}}{4}\)
Solution:
We know that, sin² θ = 1 – cos² θ
sin² 36° = 1 – cos² 36°
= 1 – \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4}\right)^{2}\)
= \(\frac{16-(5+1+2 \sqrt{5})}{16}\)
= \(\frac{10-2 \sqrt{5}}{16}\)
∴ sin 36° = \(\frac{\sqrt{10-2 \sqrt{5}}}{4}\) ……[∵ sin 36° is positive]
