  1. The value of (sin 39° / cos 51°) + 2 tan 11° tan 31° tan 45° tan 59° tan 79° – 3 (sin² 21° + sin² 69°) is :
    1. 2
    2. - 1
    3. 1
    4. 0
Correct Option: D

=
sin 39°
+ 2 tan11°. tan (90° – 11°).tan31°. tan (90° – 59°). 1 – 3 (sin² 21° + sin² (90° – 21°)
cos(90° - 39°)

=
sin 39°
+ 2 tan11°. cot11°. tan31°.cot31°–3 (sin² 21°+cos² 21°) = 1 + 2 – 3 = 0
sin 39°

[tan θ .cot θ = 1 , sin² θ + cos²θ = 1 ]
