Questions and Answers

1.

Cos 105° =
- A.
  
  (√2 - √6)/4
- B.
  
  (√2 + √6)/4
- C.
  
  (√2 + √5)/4
- D.
  
  (√3 + √6)/4
Correct Answer
B. (√2 + √6)/4

Explanation
The correct answer is (√2 + √6)/4. This can be determined by using the cosine function and the unit circle. The cosine of 105 degrees can be found by evaluating the x-coordinate of the point on the unit circle corresponding to 105 degrees. By using the values of √2 and √6, which are the x-coordinates of the points on the unit circle corresponding to 45 degrees and 60 degrees respectively, we can add them together and divide by 4 to get the cosine of 105 degrees.

________ = SinA.CosB - CosA.SinB
- A.
  
  Sin (A -B)
- B.
  
  Sin (A +B)
- C.
  
  Cos (A -B)
- D.
  
  None of these
Correct Answer
A. Sin (A -B)

Explanation
The given expression, SinA.CosB - CosA.SinB, can be simplified using the trigonometric identity for the sine of the difference of two angles, which is Sin (A - B). Therefore, the correct answer is Sin (A - B).

If tan(A + B) = √3 and tan(A – B) = 1/√3 ; 0° < A + B ≤ 90°; A > B,Then A =
- A.
  
  45 degree
- B.
  
  48 degree
- C.
  
  50 degree
- D.
  
  55 degree
Correct Answer
A. 45 degree

Explanation
The given information states that tan(A + B) = √3 and tan(A – B) = 1/√3. Since tan(A + B) = √3, we can conclude that the angle (A + B) must be 60 degrees, as the tangent of 60 degrees is √3. Similarly, tan(A – B) = 1/√3 implies that the angle (A – B) must be 30 degrees, as the tangent of 30 degrees is 1/√3.

Now, we can solve for A by adding the two equations: (A + B) + (A – B) = 60 + 30. This simplifies to 2A = 90, and dividing both sides by 2 gives A = 45 degrees. Therefore, the correct answer is 45 degrees.

If tan(A + B) = √3 and tan(A – B) = 1/√3 ; 0° < A + B ≤ 90°; A > B,Then B =
- A.
  
  10 degree
- B.
  
  12 degree
- C.
  
  15 degree
- D.
  
  20 degree
Correct Answer
C. 15 degree

Explanation
The given information states that tan(A + B) = √3 and tan(A – B) = 1/√3. Since the values of tan(A + B) and tan(A – B) are known, we can use the trigonometric identities to find the value of B. By using the identity tan(A + B) = (tanA + tanB) / (1 - tanA * tanB), we can substitute the given values to get (√3) = (tanA + tanB) / (1 - tanA * tanB). Similarly, using the identity tan(A – B) = (tanA - tanB) / (1 + tanA * tanB), we can substitute the given values to get (1/√3) = (tanA - tanB) / (1 + tanA * tanB). By solving these two equations simultaneously, we can find the value of B, which is 15 degrees.

Given cos A = -4/5, where π/2<A<π, A =
- A.
  
  4/5
- B.
  
  3/5
- C.
  
  2/3
- D.
  
  -2/3
Correct Answer
B. 3/5

Explanation
The given information states that cos A is equal to -4/5, where A is an angle between π/2 and π. Since cosine is equal to the adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse in a right triangle, we can conclude that the adjacent side is -4 and the hypotenuse is 5. By using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the opposite side, which is 3. Therefore, the sine of A is equal to 3/5.

If sin 3A = cos (A – 26°), where 3A is an acute angle,A =
- A.
  
  29 degree
- B.
  
  31 degree
- C.
  
  43 degree
- D.
  
  77 degree
Correct Answer
A. 29 degree

Explanation
The given equation sin 3A = cos (A – 26°) implies that the sine of 3A is equal to the cosine of (A – 26°). Since the sine and cosine functions have a phase difference of 90°, we can conclude that 3A and (A – 26°) must also have a phase difference of 90°. This means that 3A and (A – 26°) are complementary angles. Since A is an acute angle, the only possible value for A that satisfies this condition is 29 degrees.

(√6 - √2)/4 =
- A.
  
  Sin 20 degree
- B.
  
  Sin 55 degree
- C.
  
  Sin 12 degree
- D.
  
  Sin 15 degree
Correct Answer
D. Sin 15 degree

Explanation
To solve the given equation (√6 - √2)/4, we can simplify it by rationalizing the denominator. We multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is (√6 + √2). This results in (√6 - √2)(√6 + √2) = (√6)^2 - (√2)^2 = 6 - 2 = 4. Therefore, the simplified equation becomes 4/4, which simplifies further to 1. The value of sin 15 degrees is also 1/4. Hence, the answer is sin 15 degrees.

Cos (A+B) =
- A.
  
  SinA.CosB - CosA.SinB
- B.
  
  CosA.CosB - SinA.SinB
- C.
  
  SinA.CosB + CosA.SinB
- D.
  
  None of these
Correct Answer
B. CosA.CosB - SinA.SinB

Explanation
The given expression, CosA.CosB - SinA.SinB, is the correct answer because it represents the formula for the cosine of the sum of two angles. The formula states that the cosine of the sum of angles A and B is equal to the product of the cosines of each angle minus the product of the sines of each angle. Therefore, the correct answer is CosA.CosB - SinA.SinB.
