  1. If α and β are positive acute angles, sin (4α – β) = 1 and cos (2 α + β) = (1 / 2) , then the value of sin (α + 2β) is
    1. 0
    2. 1
    3. 3
      2
    4. 1
      2
Correct Option: D

sin (4α – β) = 1 = sin 90°
⇒ 4α – β = 90° ...(i)

cos (2α + β) =
1
= cos 60°
2

⇒ 2α + β = 60° ...(ii)
On adding equations (i) and (ii),
4α - β + 2α + β = 90° + 60°
⇒ 6α = 150° ⇒ α =
150
= 25°
6

From equation (ii),
2 × 25 + β = 60°
⇒ β = 60° – 50° = 10°
∴ sin (α + 2β)
= sin (25 + 2 × 10)
= sin 45° =
1
= 25°
