x = tan = 2 3
C4. 1. Answer (3)
PL > OL, for 0 <

for

, hence sin > cos

2

< , sin > 0 while cos < 0

2. Answer (4)
2043 = 5 360 + 243
Hence cos2043 > sin2043
3. Answer (1)
1455 = 4 360 + 15
Hence, sin1455 > cos1455,
So, sin1455 cos1455

x > sinx
replacing x by cosx
cosx > sin(cosx)

16

There exists two values of B, one acute and other obtuse, say B1 and B2
As 7 < 8

b <a
B < A, obtuse
B cannot be obtuse

only acute value of B is possible and hence only one triangle is possible
2. Answer (4)
Here a : b : c = sinA : sinB : sinC
we can construct infinitely many triangles with the given information as we can get any ratio of sides from
the conditions.

sinB < 1 which is possible

There exists two value of B, acute and obtuse say B1 and B2
Since a = 6 < 8 = b
Two value of B and possible and here two triangle can be constructed.
