  1. If
    sinx
    +
    sinx
    = 4 ; and 0° < x < 90°, then find the value of x
    1 + cosx1 - cosx

    1. 10°
    2. 15°
    3. 45°
    4. 30°
Correct Option: D

sinx
+
sinx
= 4
1 + cosx1 - cosx

sinx(1 - cosx) + sinx(1 + cosx)
= 4
(1 + cosx)(1 - cosx)

sinx - cosx.sinx + sinx + cosx.sinx
= 4
(1 - cos2x)

2sinx
= 4
sin2x

⇒ 2sinx = 1
⇒ sinx =
1
= sin30° ⇒ x = 30°
