Sample questions
-
1.Prove the trigonometric identity by selecting the correct simplified form of the left-hand side that matches the right-hand side: $\frac{\cot A - 1}{2 - \sec^{2} A} = \frac{\cot A}{1 + \tan A}$. Which of the following expressions is equivalent to the left-hand side after simplification?
- A.$\frac{\cos^{2} A}{\sin A (\cos A + \sin A)}$
- B.$\frac{\sin A - \cos A}{2 \cos^{2} A - 1}$
- C.$\frac{\cos A - \sin A}{\sin A (1 + \sin A \cos A)}$
- D.$\frac{1 - \tan A}{1 - \cot A}$
-
2.Which of the following correctly proves the identity: $\frac{\sec A}{\sec A + 1} + \frac{\sec A}{\sec A - 1} = 2 \csc^2 A$?
- A.$\frac{\sec A}{\sec A + 1} + \frac{\sec A}{\sec A - 1} = \frac{2 \sec^2 A}{\tan^2 A} = 2 (\cot^2 A + 1) = 2 \csc^2 A$
- B.$\frac{\sec A}{\sec A + 1} + \frac{\sec A}{\sec A - 1} = \frac{2 \sec A}{\sec^2 A - 1} = \frac{2 \sec A}{\tan^2 A} = 2 \csc A$
- C.$\frac{\sec A}{\sec A + 1} + \frac{\sec A}{\sec A - 1} = \frac{2 \sec^2 A}{1 - \tan^2 A} = 2 (1 + \cot^2 A) = 2 \sec^2 A$
- D.$\frac{\sec A}{\sec A + 1} + \frac{\sec A}{\sec A - 1} = \frac{2 \sec A}{\sec A - 1} = \frac{2}{\sin A} = 2 \csc^2 A$

3.Assertion: The value of $\sin \theta = \frac{4}{3}$ is not possible. Reason: Hypotenuse is the largest side in any right angled triangle. (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A). (b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A). (c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.

- A.$(m^2 + n^2) \cos^2 B = \frac{\cos^2 A}{\sin^2 B} = n^2$
- B.$(m^2 + n^2) \cos^2 B = \frac{\cos^2 A}{\cos^2 B} = m^2$
- C.$(m^2 + n^2) \cos^2 B = \frac{\sin^2 A}{\sin^2 B} = n^2$
- D.$(m^2 + n^2) \cos^2 B = \frac{\cos^2 A}{\cos^2 B + \sin^2 B} = \cos^2 A$
