28. If ∆ABC is right angled at C, then the value of cos (A + B) is [NCERT Exemplar Problems]
Answer/Explanation
Answer: a
Explaination:
(a) ∆ ABC is right angled at C,
∴ A + B + C = 180°
A + B = 180° – 90° = 90° (∵ ∠C = 90°)
cos (A + B) = cos 90° = 0

(a) cos β
(b) cos 2β
(c) sin α
(d) sin 2α
Answer/Explanation
Answer: b
Explaination:
(b) cos (α + β) = 0 = cos 90°
⇒ α + β = 90°
sin (α – β) = sin (α – β + β – β)
= sin (α + β – 2β)
= sin (90° – 2β) = cos 2β
32. If cos 9α = sin a and 9α < 90°, then the value of tan 5α is [NCERT Exemplar Problems]
(a) \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
(b) √3
(c) 1
(d) 0
Answer/Explanation
Answer: c
Explaination:
cos 9α = sin α
⇒ cos 9α = cos (90° – α)
⇒ 9α = 90° – α
⇒ 10α = 90°
⇒ α = 9°
∴ tan 5α = tan 5 × 9°
= tan 45° = 1
33. sin (45° + θ) – cos (45° – θ) is equal to
(a) 2 cos θ
(b) 0
(c) 2 sin θ
(d) 1
Answer/Explanation
Answer: b
Explaination:
sin (45° + θ) – cos (45° – θ)

(a) 8
(b) 8.5
(c) 9
(d) 9.5
Answer/Explanation

= (sin² 5° + sin² 85°) + (sin² 10° + sin² 80°) + … + (sin² 40° + sin² 50°) + sin² 45° + sin² 90°
= (sin² 5° + cos² 5°) + (sin 10° + cos² 10°) + … + (sin² 40° + cos² 40°) + \(\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^{2}\) + 1
= 1 + 1 + 1 + … 8 times + \(\frac{1}{2}\) + 1
= 9\(\frac{1}{2}\) = 9.5
35. The value of the expression [cosec (75° + θ) – sec (15° – θ) – tan (55° + θ) + cot (35° – θ)] is [NCERT Exemplar Problems]
(a) -1
(b) 0
(c) 1
(d) \(\frac{3}{2}\)
Answer/Explanation
Answer: b
Explaination:
cosec (75° + θ) – sec (15° – θ) – tan (55° + θ) + cot (35° – θ)
= cosec {90° – (15° – θ)} – sec (15° – θ) – tan {90° – (35° – θ)} + cot (35° – θ)
= sec (15° – θ) – sec (15° – θ) – cot (35° – θ) + cot (35° – θ) = 0
36. sin (90° – A) =
(a) sin A
(b) tan A
(c) cos A
(d) cosec A
Answer
Answer: c
37. tan A =
Answer/Explanation
Answer: c
Explaination:
38. If cosec A – cot A = —, then cosec A =
Answer/Explanation
Answer: d
Explaination:
cosec A – cot A = \(\frac{4}{5}\) ……(i)
Also cosec² A – cot² A = 1
⇒ (cosec A – cot A) (cosec A + cot A) = 1
⇒ \(\frac{4}{5}\)(cosec A + cot A) = 1
⇒ cosec A + cot A = \(\frac{4}{5}\) …(ii)
From (i) and (ii), cosec A = \(\frac{41}{40}\)
39. If sin x + cosec x = 2, then sin19x + cosec20x =
(a) 219
(b) 220
(c) 2
(d) 239
Answer/Explanation
Answer: c
Explaination:
(c) sin x + cosec x = 2
⇒ sin x + \(\frac{1}{sin x}\) = 2
⇒ sin² x + 1 = 2 sin x
⇒ (sin x – 1)² = 0 => sin x = 1 => cosec x = 1
∴ sin19 x + cosec20 x = 1 + 1 = 2
40. If sin θ – cos θ = 0, then the value of (sin4 θ + cos4 θ) is
Answer/Explanation
Answer: c
Explaination:
sin θ – cos θ = 0
⇒ (sin θ – cos θ)² = 0
⇒ sin2²θ + cos²θ – 2 sin θ cos θ = 0
⇒ – 2 sin θ cos θ = – 1
⇒ 2 sin θ cos θ=1
⇒ sin θ cos θ = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
⇒ sin²θ cos²θ = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
sin4θ + cos4θ = sin4θ + cos4θ + 2 sin²θ cos²θ – 2 sin²θ cos²θ
= (sin²θ + cos² θ)² – 2 sin²θ cos²θ
= (1)² – 2 × \(\frac{1}{4}\) = 1 – \(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
41. sec A =
Answer/Explanation
Answer: d
Explaination:
42. 
(a) tan² A
(b) sec² A
(c) cosec² A – 1
(d) 1 – sin² A
Answer/Explanation
Answer: c
Explaination:
43. If sec A + tan A = x, then tan A =
Answer/Explanation
Answer: c
Explaination:
secA + tanA = x … (i)
Also sec² A – tan² A = 1
⇒ (sec A – tan A) (sec A + tan A) = 1
⇒ x (sec A – tan A)
∴ sec A – tan A = \(\frac{1}{x}\) ….. (ii)
Now, subtracting (ii) from (i), we have
tan A = \(\frac{x^{2}-1}{2 x}\)
44. Reciprocal of cot A is _____ .

Answer:
Explaination:
49. If sin A = cos A, 0° < A < 90°, then A is equal to _____ .
Answer/Explanation
Answer:c
Explaination:
sin A = cos A sin A
⇒ \(\frac{\sin A}{\cos A}\) = 1
⇒ tan A = 1
⇒ A = 45°
50. If sin θ1 + sin θ2 + sin θ3 = 3, 0° < θ1 θ2, θ3 ≤ 90°, then cos θ1, + cos θ2, + cos θ3 = _____ .
Answer/Explanation
Answer:
Explaination:
Hint: Maximum value of sin 0 = 1
sin θ1 + sin θ2 + sin θ3 = 3
⇒ sin θ1 = 1, sin θ2 = 1 and sin θ3 = 1
⇒ θ1 = 90°, θ2 = 90° and θ3 = 90°
∴ cos θ1 + cos θ2 + cos θ3 = 0

54. If sin (A – B) = \(\frac{1}{2}\), cos (A + B) = \(\frac{1}{2}\), find A and B.
Answer/Explanation
Answer:
Explaination:
sin (A – B) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
⇒ A – B = 30° ……(i)
and cos (A + B) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
⇒ A + B = 60 °…..(ii)
Solving equation (i) and (ii),
we get A = 45° and B = 15°

Answer/Explanation
Answer:
Explaination:
56. If cos (40° + A) = sin 30°, the value of A is _____ .
Answer/Explanation
Answer:
Explaination:
Hint: cos (40° + A) = sin 30°
⇒ cos (40° + A) = cos (90° – 30°)
⇒ 40° + A = 60° => A = 20°
57. If tan θ = cot (30° + θ), find the value of θ.
Answer/Explanation
Answer:
Explaination:
tan θ = cot (30° + θ)
⇒ cot (90° – θ)
= cot (30° + θ)
⇒ 90° – θ = 30° + θ
⇒ 2θ = 60°
⇒ θ = 30°
58. Find the value of (sin²33° + sin²57°) [Delhi 2019]
Answer/Explanation
Answer:
Explaination:
sin²33° + sin²57°

⇒ 1 [Using sin²θ + cos² θ=1]
59. Express cot 85° + cos 75° in terms of trigonometric ratios of angles between 0° and 45°.
Answer/Explanation
Answer:
Explaination:
cot 85° + cos 75° = tan (90° – 85°) + sin (90° – 75°)
= tan 5° + sin 15°
60. If sec A = \(\frac{15}{7}\) and A + B = 90°, find the value of cosec B.
Answer/Explanation
Answer:
Explaination:
sec A = \(\frac{15}{7}\)
⇒ sec(90° – B) = \(\frac{15}{7}\) [∵ A + B = 90° ⇒ A = 90°-B]
⇒ cosec B = \(\frac{15}{7}\) [∵ sec (90° – θ) = cosec θ]
61. If tan A + cot A = 4, then tan4 A + cot4 A =
Answer/Explanation
Answer:
Explaination:
Hint: (tan A + cot A)2 = 42
⇒ tan² A + cot² A + 2 = 16
⇒ tan² A + cot² A = 14
⇒ (tan² A + cot² A)² = (14)²
⇒ tan4 A + cot4 A + 2 = 196
tan4 A + cot4 A = 194
62. If sin x + sin²x = 1, then value of cos² x + cos4 x
Answer/Explanation
