Expression = 2sinθ cosθ(1 + tan2θ) Expression = 2sinθ cosθ.sec2θ Expression = 2sinθ secθ
[∴ cosθ . secθ = 1]
Expression = 2 sinθ. cosθ = sin2θ
Correct Option: C
Expression = 2sinθ cosθ(1 + tan2θ) Expression = 2sinθ cosθ.sec2θ Expression = 2sinθ secθ

View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
sinθ = 5 13
cosθ = √1 - sin²θ
cosθ = √{ 1 - (5 / 13)2
cosθ = √{ 1 - (25 / 169)cosθ = √ (169 - 25) 169 cosθ = √ (144) 169 cosθ = 12 13 ∴ tanθ = sinθ = 5 cosθ 12 cotθ = 12 5
∴ √(cotθ + tanθ) = √(5 / 12) + (12 / 5)Required answer = √ (25 + 144) 60 = √ 169 60 Required answer = 13 2 √15
Correct Option: B
sinθ = 5 13
cosθ = √1 - sin²θ
cosθ = √{ 1 - (5 / 13)2
cosθ = √{ 1 - (25 / 169)cosθ = √ (169 - 25) 169 cosθ = √ (144) 169 cosθ = 12 13 ∴ tanθ = sinθ = 5 cosθ 12 cotθ = 12 5
∴ √(cotθ + tanθ) = √(5 / 12) + (12 / 5)Required answer = √ (25 + 144) 60 = √ 169 60 Required answer = 13 2 √15

r sinθ = 1 ..... (i)
r cosθ = √3 ..... (i)
On squaring and adding both equations,
r2 sin2θ + r2cos2θ = 1 + 3
⇒ r2 (sin2θ + cos2θ) = 4
⇒ r2 = 4Again, = r sinθ = 1 r cosθ √3 ⇒ tanθ = 1 √3 ∴ r2 tanθ = 4 √3 Correct Option: C
r sinθ = 1 ..... (i)
r cosθ = √3 ..... (i)
On squaring and adding both equations,
r2 sin2θ + r2cos2θ = 1 + 3
⇒ r2 (sin2θ + cos2θ) = 4
⇒ r2 = 4Again, = r sinθ = 1 r cosθ √3 ⇒ tanθ = 1 √3 ∴ r2 tanθ = 4 √3

cos220° + cos270°
= cos2(90° – 70°) + cos270°
= sin270° + cos270°
= 1 [cos (90° – θ) = sinq]Correct Option: D
cos220° + cos270°
= cos2(90° – 70°) + cos270°
= sin270° + cos270°
= 1 [cos (90° – θ) = sinq]
