Solutions

1. (C)

tan(2α + 3θ) = ntan(2α − 3θ)

⇒
n=
tan(2α + 3θ)
tan(2α − 3θ)

Using componendo and dividend, we have,

⇒ nn +− 11 = tan(2 α + 3θ) + tan(2α − 3θ)

tan(2α + 3θ) − tan(2α − 3θ)

sin ( 2α + 3θ ) sin ( 2α − 3θ )
cos ( 2α + 3θ )
+ cos ( 2α − 3θ )
= sin ( 2α + 3θ ) sin ( 2α − 3θ )
cos ( 2α + 3θ )
− cos ( 2α − 3θ )
sin(2α + 3θ)cos(2α − 3θ) + sin(2α − 3θ)cos(2α + 3θ)
=
sin(2α + 3θ)cos(2α − 3θ) − sin(2α − 3θ)cos(2α + 3θ)
sin(2α + 3θ + 2α − 3θ)
=
sin(2α + 3θ − 2α + 3θ)
sin4α
=
sin6θ
∴
(n + 1)sin6θ = (n − 1)sin4α

2. (B)

A+B+C=π
⇒ A+B=π−C
⇒ tan(A + B) = tan(π − C)
⇒ 1tan A + tan B
− tan Atan B
= − tanC

⇒ tanA + tanB = − tanC + tanAtanBtanC

⇒ tanA + tanB + tanC = tanAtanBtanC

3. (C)

sinA + sinB + sinC

= sinA + sinB + sin(π − (A + B))
= sinA + sinB + sin(A + B)
= sinA + sinB + sinAcosB + cosAsinB

5. (B) Given,

3
cos(β − γ) + cos(γ − α) + cos(α − β) = −
2

or

3 + 2cos(β − γ) + 2cos(γ − α) + 2cos(α − β) = 0

or

3 + 2(cosβcosγ + sinβsinγ) + 2(cosγcosα + sinγsinα) + 2(cosαcosβ + sinαsinβ) = 0

or

(cos α + sin α ) + (cos β + sin β ) + (cos γ + sin γ ) + 2(cosβcosγ + sinβsinγ) + 2(cosγcosα + sinγsinα)
2 2 2 2 2 2

+ 2(cosαcosβ + sinαsinβ) = 0

+ 2sinαsinβ + 2sinβsinγ + 2sinγsinα

or

(cosα + cosβ + cosγ) 2 + (sinα + sinβ + sinγ) 2 = 0

which is possible only when

cosα + cosβ + cosγ = 0

and

sinα + sinβ + sinγ = 0

6. (D)

tan55 ∘ tan100 ∘ tan55 ∘ tan100 ∘ tan100 ∘ tan25 ∘

tan25 ∘ + tan55 ∘ + tan100 ∘

=
tan25 ∘ . tan55 ∘ . tan100 ∘

Since, 25°+55°+100°=180°

tan 25° + tan 55° + tan 100° = tan 25° tan 55° tan 100°

⇒E=1

7. (50) Let

S= ∑ 100

7/4/25, 10:34 PM vedantu.com/download-test-pdf/67dd51af1078ab2123699763

⇒ S = sinxcos100x + sin2xcos99x
+ . . . . + sin100xcosx. . . . (i)

S = cosxsin100x + cos2xsin99x + . . . + sinxcos100x. . . (ii)

(on writing in reverse order)

On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

2S = (sinxcos100x + cosxsin100x)

+ (sin2xcos99x + cos2xsin99x)

⋯
⋯

+ (sin100xcosx + sinxcos100x)

= sin101x + sin101x + . . . + sin101x(100 times)

Hence,

S = 50sin(101x)
