(2) 2f(x) = 3g(x)
(3) f(x) = 2g(x)

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)

(2) qx3 + 2px2 + qx p = 0
(3) qx3 px2 + (2 + q)x + pq = 0
(4) qx3 px2 + qx + p = 0
Sol. Answer (1)

Given that
p = sinA.sinB.sinC
q = cosA. cosB. cosC
Now, tanA. tanB. tanC =

And also tanA + tanB + tanC = tanA.tanB.tanC

=

Now, tanA.tanB + tanB.tanC. + tanC.tanA

=
sin A.sin B
sin B.sin C
sin C.sin A
cos A.cos B cos B.cos C cos C.cos A
= sinA.sinB.cosC + sinBsinC.cosA + sinAsinC.cosB/cosAcosBcosC

= sinB(sinAcosC + cosAsinC) + sinA.sinC.cosB/cosAcosBcosC

Sol. Answer (1, 2, 3, 4)

[, ]
2(cos + cos2) + (1 + 2cos)sin2 = 2sin
or, 2(cos + cos2) + 2(cos + 2cos2)sin = 2sin
or, 2(cos + cos2) + 2sin[cos + 2cos2 1] = 0
or, 2(cos + cos2) + 2sin(cos + cos2) = 0
or, 2(cos + cos2) (1 + sin) = 0

sinx + sin2x + 2sinx sin2x = 2cosx + cos2x
or, (sinx + sin2x) cos2x + (2sinx sin2x 2cosx) = 0
or, sinx(1 + 2cosx) cos2x + 2cosx(2sin2x 1) = 0
or, sinx(1 + 2cosx) cos2x 2cosx(1 2sin2x) = 0
or, sinx(1 + 2cosx) cos2x 2cosx cos2x = 0
or, sinx(1 + 2cosx) cos2x(1 + 2cosx) = 0
or, (1 + 2cosx) (sinx cos2x) = 0
Either, cos x

or, 4sin3 4sin2 + 6sin2 6sin + 3sin 3 = 0

or, 4sin2(sin 1) + 6sin(sin 1) + 3(sin 1) = 0

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
Or cos A = cosC
and sin B = sin D

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

If a cos3 3a cos .sin2 m , a sin3 3a cos2 sin n , then (m n )2/3 (m n )2/3 is equal to
(1) 2a2
(2) 2a2/3
(3) a2/3
(4) 2a3
Sol. Answer (2)

m + n = a{(sin3 + cos3) + 3sincos(sin + cos)}
= a(sin + cos) [1 sin cos + 3sin.cos]
= a(sin + cos)3
Also m n = a[(cos3 sin3)] + 3 sincos (sin cot]
= a(cos sin) [1 + sin cos 3sin cos]
= a(cos sin)3

(m + n)2/3 + (m n)2/3 = a2/3[(sin + cos)2 + (cos sin2]

27. Find all values of x, y and k for which the system of equations
sinx cos2y = k4 2k2 + 2
cosx sin2y = k + 1
has a solution.
Sol. sinxcos2y = k4 2k2 + 2
cosxsin2y = k + 1
sinxcos2y = (k2 1)2 + 1
and cosxsin2y = k + 1
But L.H.S. is less than or equal to 1.
k=1
So,
Case-I, k = 1
sinxcos2y = 1
sinx = 1 and cos2y = 1
or cosxsin2y = 2 which is not possible
Case-II,
When k = 1
sinx cos2y = 1
sinx = 1 and cos2y = 1
or, sinx = 1 or cos2y = 1
and cosx sin2y = 0
