1. If x = p sec q and y = q tan q , then = 2 cos2 A - 1

(a) x2 - y2 = p2 q2 (b) x2 q2 - y2 p2 = pq 5. If sec 5A = cosec ^A + 30ch , where 5A is an acute

angle, then the value of A is

pq (a) 15c (b) 5c
(c) 20c (d) 10c
Ans : (d) x2 q2 - y2 p2 = p2 q2
We know, sec2 q - tan2 q = 1 Ans : (d) 10c
We have, sec 5A = cosec ^A + 30ch
and sec q = x
p sec 5A = sec 690c - ^A - 30ch@

sec 5A = sec ^60c - Ah
x2 q2 - y2 p2 = p2 q2

Ans : (b) 1
Given, tan 1c tan 2c tan 3c... tan 89c
6. If x sin3 q + y cos3 q = sin q cos q and x sin q = y cos q ,
= tan (90c - 89c) tan (90c - 88c) than x2 + y2 is equal to
tan ^90c - 87ch ... tan 87c tan 88c tan 89c (a) 0 (b) 1/2
= cot 89c cot 88c cot 87c... tan 87c (c) 1 (d) 3/2
tan 88c tan 89c Ans : (c) 1
= ^cot 89c tan 89ch^cot 88c tan 88ch We have, x sin3 q + y cos3 q = sin q cos q
^cot 87c tan 87ch ... ^cot 44c tan 44ch tan 45c ^x sin qh sin2 q + ^y cos qh cos2 q = sin q cos q
= 1 # 1 # 1...1 # 1 = 1 x sin q ^sin2 qh + ^x sin qh cos2 q = sin q cos q
4. (cos 4 A - sin 4 A) is equal to x sin q ^sin2 q + cos2 qh = sin q cos q
x sin q = sin q cos q & x = cos q
(a) 1 - 2 cos2 A (b) 2 sin2 A - 1
Now, x sin q = y cos q
(c) sin2 A - cos2 A (d) 2 cos2 A - 1
cos q sin q = y cos q
Ans : (d) 2 cos2 A - 1
y = sin q
(cos 4 A - sin 4 A) = (cos2 A) 2 - (sin2 A) 2
Hence, x + y2 = cos2 q + sin2 q = 1
2

= (cos2 A - sin2 A) (cos2 A + sin2 A)
