Question 3. The value of tan 4°.tan 43°.tan 47°.tan 86° is 

(A) 3

(B) 4

(C) 2

(D) 1

View Answer
(D) 1

Explanation:
tan 4°. tan 43°. tan 47°. tan 86°
= tan 4°. tan 43°. tan (90° – 43°).
tan (90° – 4°)
= tan 4° × tan 43° × cot 43° × cot
4° = 1
[ tan (90° – Θ) = cot Θ; tan Θ. cot Θ = 1]

Question 4. If cos x + cos y = 2, the value of sin x + sin y is

(A) 2

(B) 0

(C) -1

(D) 1

View Answer
(B) 0

Explanation:
cosx + cosy = 2
∴ cos x < 1
⇒ cos x = 1; cosy = 1
⇒ x = y = 0° [∴ Cos 0° = 1] ∴  sin x + sin y = 0

Question 5. The value of tan1°tan2° tan3°……. tan89° is :

(A) 0

(B) √3

(C) 1

(D) 1/√3

View Answer
(C) 1

Explanation:
tan1°.tan2°.tan3°… tan45°…tan88°tan89°
= (tan1°.tan89°) (tan2°. tan88°) …tan45°
= (tan1°.cot1°).(tan2°.cot2°) …tan45° = 1
[∴ tan (90° – Θ) = cotΘ, tanΘ.cotΘ = 1]

Question 6. The circular measure of an angle of an isosceles triangle is 5π/9.Circular measure of one of the other angles must be

(B) 5π/18

(C) 4π/9

(D) 2π/9

View Answer
(D) 2π/9

Explanation:

Question 7. If x, y are acute angles, 0 < x +y < 90° and sin (2x – 20°) = cos (2y + 20°), then the value of tan (x + y) is : 

(A) √3/2

(B) 1√3

(C) 1

(D) √3

View Answer
(C) 1

Explanation:

sin (2x – 20°)
= cos (2y + 20°)
⇒ sin (2x – 20°)
= sin (90° – 2y – 20°)
⇒ 2x–20° = 70° – 2y
⇒ 2x + 2y = 70 +20 = 90°
⇒ x + y = 45°
∴ tan (x + y) = tan 45° = 1
