    We know that,

    Angle =
    arc
    radius

    ⇒ θ =
    21
    75

    θ =
    7
    R
    25

    Correct Option: B

    We know that,

    Angle =
    arc
    radius

    ⇒ θ =

    Here,

    θ = 60°
    l = 37.4 cm
    r = ?
    We know that,

    1° =
    π
    R
    180°

    ⇒ 60° =
    π
    × 60R
    180°

    ⇒ 60° =

    We know that,
    θ =
    l
    r

    ⇒ r =
    37.4 × 3

    r =
    37.4 × 3 × 7
    22

    = 1.7 × 21 = 35.7 cm

    Correct Option: C

  1. What is the value of cosec (–1410°) ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    cosec (–1410°) = – cosec (1410°)
    ∵cosec (– θ)
    = – cosecθ = –cosec (360° × 3 + 330°)
    = –cosec (330°) = –cosec (360° – 30°)
    = cosec 30°
    = 2

    Correct Option: B

    cosec (–1410°) = – cosec (1410°)
    ∵cosec (– θ)
    = – cosecθ = –cosec (360° × 3 + 330°)
    = –cosec (330°) = –cosec (360° – 30°)
    = cosec 30°
    = 2

    Here, cosθ = – 1/2 and θ, lies in third quadrant

    Consider ∆ABC,
    Using Pythagoras theorem,
    AC² = AB² + BC²
    2² = (–1)² + BC²
    ⇒ BC² = 4 – 1
    BC² = 3
    BC = √3

    tanθ + sinθ = –
    3
    + -

    - 12

    ∵ In third quadrant sinθ is negative and tanθ is positive.
