(3) 2cos2 – cos2 = – 1 (4) cos2 – 2cos2 = –1
Sol. Answer (3)
tan2 – 2tan2 = 1
 tan2 = 1 + 2tan2

(1) 1 (2) –1 (3)  5 (4) 5
Sol. Answer (1)

cos2x + 2cosx = 1
2cosx = 1 – cos2x
2cosx = 2sin2x
cosx = sin2x
 sin2x(2 – cos2x)

Sol. Answer (1)
f(x) = cos10x + cos8x + 3cos4x + 3cos2x
g(x) = 8cosx.cos33x
= 8cosx(4cos3x – 3cosx)3
= 8cosx ((4cos3x)3 – 3.(4cos3x)2.3cosx + 3.(4cos3x)(3cosx)2 – (3cosx)3)

(1) Isosceles but not right angled (2) Right angled
(3) Isosceles right angled (4) Equilateral
Sol. Answer (2)
2 a2 b2c 2
Given that   2
2(a  b 2  c 2 )
abc
But we know that  R ⇒ abc 4R
4

2  2 ⇒ a2  b2  c 2 

2(a  b2  c 2 )
 sin2A + sin2B + sin2C = 2 …(i)
From (i) it is clear that the triangle will be right-angled triangle.
So, option (2) is correct.

equal to
1 1
(1) 0 (2) 1 (3) (4)
2 3
Sol. Answer (1)

A
From (m1 n) theorem
2x cot(90 + B) = xcot0 – xcot(A – 90)
A–90°
 – 2tanB = tanA
 – 2sinB cosA = sinAcosB
 sinAcosB + 2sinBcosA = 0 90° + B
 Hence option (1) is correct B x D x C

in sin and cos, sec and tan or cosec and cot can be transformed into a quadratic equation in, say, sin,
tan or cot respectively. And then one can apply sum and product of roots to find the desired result. Let acos

and
1
STATEMENT-2 : cos120° = 
2
Sol. Answer (2)
3bc = (a – b + c) (a + b – c)
= [a – (b – c)] [a + (b – c)]
 3bc = a2 – (b – c)2
 3bc = a2 – b2 – c2 + 2bc
 b2 + c2 – a2 = – bc
b2  c 2  a2 1

14. ABCD is a quadrilateral in which a circle is inscribed.

STATEMENT-1 : The length of the sides of the quadrilateral can be A.P.
and
STATEMENT-2 : The length of tangents from an external point to a circle are equal.
Sol. Answer (1)
If sum of opposite sides of a quadrilateral is equal, then and only then a circle can be inscribed in a
quadrilateral
Statement-1 : Length of sides of quadrilateral can be in A.P. if common difference is zero.
Statement-2 : True.
15. STATEMENT-1 : In ABC, if a < b sinA, then the triangle is possible.

16. Let ABCD be a cyclic quadrilateral then

STATEMENT-1 : sinA + sinB + sinC + sinD = 0
and
STATEMENT-2 : cosA + cosB + cosC + cosD = 0
Sol. Answer (4)
In cyclic quadrilateral ABCD
A + C = 180 and B + D = 180
A = 180 – C and B = 180 – D
Then, sin A = sin C and sin B = sin D
Or cos A = – cosC and cos B = – cos D
Hence cos A + cos B + cos C + cos D = 0
17. STATEMENT-1 : In a triangle ABC if tanA : tanB : tanC = 1 : 2 : 3, then A = 45°.

and
STATEMENT-2 : If p : q : r = 1 : 2 : 3, then p = 1
Sol. Answer (3)
Given,
tanA : tanB : tanC = 1 : 2 : 3
tanA = k
tanB = 2k
tanC = 3k
In ABC
tanA + tanB + tanC = tanA tanB tanC
6K = 6K3
K  0  K = ± 1 K –1
 K=1
tanA = 1  A = 45°
18. STATEMENT-1 : In an acute angled triangle minimum vlaue of tan + tan + tan is 3 3 .

cos2 1  cos2 (cos )  1

and 0  sin2 (sin )  sin2 1

∵ cos2 1  cos2 (cos )  sin2 (sin )  1  sin2 1

Sol. Answer (2)

asin2+ bcos2= m …(1)

bsin2 + acos2 = n …(2)

atan = btan(ii) …(3)

Divide (1) by cos2 we, get

Divide (2) by cos2, we get

From (3), (4), (5)
