2. Value of tan30°/cot60° is:

(A) 1/√2

(B) 1/√3
 (C) √3

(D) 1

Answer: (D)
Explanation:

3. sec2θ – 1 = ?
(A) tan2θ
(B) tan2θ + 1
(C) cot2θ – 1
(D) cos2θ
Answer:  (A)
Explanation: From trigonometric identity
1+ tan2θ = sec2θ
⇒sec2θ – 1 = tan2θ
4. The value of sin θ and cos (90° – θ)
(A) Are same

(B) Are different

(C) No relation

(D) Information insufficient

Answer: (A)
Explanation: Since from trigonometric identities,
cos(90° – θ) = sin θ

So, both represents the same value.

5. If cos A = 4/5, then tan A = ?

(A) 3/5

(B) 3/4

(C) 4/3

(D) 4/5

Answer: (B)
Explanation: From trigonometric identity

6. The value of the expression [cosec (75° + θ) – sec (15° -

θ) – tan (55° + θ) + cot (35° - θ)] is
(A) 1

(B) −1

(C) 0

(D) 1/2

Answer: (C)
Explanation: Since
cosec (75° + θ) – sec (15° - θ) – tan (55° + θ) + cot (35° -
θ)

= cosec (75° + θ) – cosec [90° - (15° - θ)] – tan (55° + θ)

+ tan [90° - (35° - θ)]

= cosec (75° + θ) – cosec (75° + θ) – tan (55° + θ) + tan

(55° + θ)

=0

7. Given that: SinA = a/b, then cosA = ?

(C) b/a

(D) a/b

Answer:(B)
Explanation: We have
8. The value of (tan1° tan2° tan3° ... tan89°) is
(A) 0

(B) 1

(C) 2

(D)1/2

Answer: (B)
Explanation: This can be written as,
(tan1° tan2° tan3° ... tan89°)

(tan1° tan2° tan3° ....... tan44° tan45° tan46° .....

tan87°tan88°tan89°)

= [tan1° tan2° tan3° ....... tan44° tan45° tan (90 – 44)° .....
tan(90° - 3) tan (90° - 2) tan (90° - 1)]
= (tan1° tan2° tan3° ....... tan44° tan45° cot 44° ..... cot3°
cot2° cot 1°)

=1

Since tan and cot are reciprocals of each other, so they

cancel each other.

9. If sin A + sin2 A = 1, then cos2 A + cos4 A = ?

(A) 1

(B) 0

(C) 2

(D) 4

Answer: (A)
Explanation: We have
sin A + sin 2 A = 1
⇒ sin A = 1 – sin2 A
⇒ sin A = cos2 A               ......(i)
Squaring both sides

⇒sin2A = cos4A               ......(ii)

From equations (i) and (ii), we have

cos2A + cos4A = sin A + sin2A = 1

10. If sin A = 1/2 and cos B = 1/2, then A + B = ?
(A) 00
(B) 300
(C) 600
(D) 900
Answer: (D)
