CBSE Class 11 Maths – MCQ and Online Tests – Unit 3 – Trigonometric Functions
Question 1.
If tanē ? = 1 – eē, then the value of sec ? + tanģ ? Ũ cosec ? is
(a) 2 – eē
(b) (2 – eē)1/2
(c) (2 – eē)ē
(d) (2 – eē)3/2
Answer
Answer: (d) (2 – eē)3/2
Hint:
Given, tanē ? = 1 – eē
? tan ? = v(1 – eē)
From the figure and Pythagorus theorem,
ACē = ABē + BCē
? ACē = {v(1 – eē)}ē + 12
? ACē = 1 – eē + 1
? ACē = 2 – eē
? AC = v(2 – eē)
Now, sec ? = v(2 – eē)
cosec ? = v(2 – eē)/v(1 – eē)
and tan ? = v(1 – eē)
Given, sec ? + tanģ ? Ũ cosec ?
= v(2 – eē) + {(1 – eē)3/2 Ũ v(2 – eē)/v(1 – eē)}
= v(2 – eē) + {(1 – eē) Ũ (1 – eē) Ũ v(2 – eē)/v(1 – eē)}
= v(2 – eē) + (1 – eē) Ũ v(2 – eē)
= v(2 – eē) Ũ (1 + 1 – eē)
= v(2 – eē) Ũ (2 – eē)
= (2 – eē)3/2
So, sec ? + tanģ ? Ũ cosec ? = (2 – eē)3/2
Question 2.
The perimeter of a triangle ABC is 6 times the arithmetic mean of the sines of its angles. If the side b is 2, then the angle B is
(a) 30°
(b) 90°
(c) 60°
(d) 120°
Answer
Answer: (b) 90°
Hint:
Let the lengths of the sides if ?ABC be a, b and c
Perimeter of the triangle = 2s = a + b + c = 6(sinA + sinB + sinC)/3
? (sinA + sinB + sinC) = ( a + b + c)/2
? (sinA + sinB + sinC)/( a + b + c) = 1/2
From sin formula,Using
sinA/a = sinB/b = sinC/c = (sinA + sinB + sinC)/(a + b + c) = 1/2
Now, sinB/b = 1/2
Given b = 2
So, sinB/2 = 1/2
? sinB = 1
? B = p/2
Question 3:
If 3 Ũ tan(x – 15) = tan(x + 15), then the value of x is
(a) 30
(b) 45
(c) 60
(d) 90
Answer
Answer: (b) 45
Hint:
Given, 3Ũtan(x – 15) = tan(x + 15)
? tan(x + 15)/tan(x – 15) = 3/1
? {tan(x + 15) + tan(x – 15)}/{tan(x + 15) – tan(x – 15)} = (3 + 1)/(3 – 1)
? {tan(x + 15) + tan(x – 15)}/{tan(x + 15) – tan(x – 15)} = 4/2
? {tan(x + 15) + tan(x – 15)}/{tan(x + 15) – tan(x – 15)} = 2
? sin(x + 15 + x – 15)/sin(x + 15 – x + 15) = 2
? sin 2x/sin 30 = 2
? sin 2x/(1/2) = 2
? 2 Ũ sin 2x = 2
? sin 2x = 1
? sin 2x = sin 90
? 2x = 90
? x = 45
Question 4.

(a) 2b = a + c
(b) bē = a Ũ c
(c) a = b = c
(d) None of these
Answer
Answer: (a) 2b = a + c
Hint:
Given, cos A + 2 cos B + cos C = 2
? cos A + cos C = 2(1 – cos B)
? 2 cos((A + C)/2) Ũ cos((A-C)/2 = 4 sinē(B/2)
? 2 sin(B/2)cos((A-C)/2) = 4sinē (B/2)
? cos((A-C)/2) = 2sin (B/2)
? cos((A-C)/2) = 2cos((A+C)/2)
? cos((A-C)/2) – cos((A+C)/2) = cos((A+C)/2)
? 2sin(A/2)sin(C/2) = sin(B/2)
? 2{v(s-b)(s-c)vbc} Ũ {v(s-a)(s-b)vab} = v(s-a)(s-c)vac
? 2(s – b) = b
? a + b + c – 2b = b
? a + c – b = b
? a + c = 2b

Answer
Answer: (c) 1
Hint:
Given cosec A (sin B cos C + cos B sin C)
= cosec A Ũ sin(B+C)
= cosec A Ũ sin(180 – A)
= cosec A Ũ sin A
= cosec A Ũ 1/cosec A
= 1

(a) sin (x + y)
(b) sinē (x + y)
(c) sinģ (x + y)
(d) sin4 (x + y)
Answer
Answer: (b) sinē (x + y)
Hint:
cosē x + cosē y – 2cos x Ũ cos y Ũ cos(x + y)
{since cos(x + y) = cos x Ũ cos y – sin x Ũ sin y }
= cosē x + cosē y – 2cos x Ũ cos y Ũ (cos x Ũ cos y – sin x Ũ sin y)
= cosē x + cosē y – 2cosē x Ũ cosē y + 2cos x Ũ cos y Ũ sin x Ũ sin y
= cosē x + cosē y – cosē x Ũ cosē y – cosē x Ũ cosē y + 2cos x Ũ cos y Ũ sin x Ũ sin y
= (cosē x – cosē x Ũ cosē y) + (cosē y – cosē x Ũ cosē y) + 2cos x Ũ cos y Ũ sin x Ũ sin y
= cosē x(1- cosē y) + cosē y(1 – cosē x) + 2cos x Ũ cos y Ũ sin x Ũ sin y
= sinē y Ũ cosē x + sinē x Ũ cosē y + 2cos x Ũ cos y Ũ sin x Ũ sin y (since sinē x + cosē x = 1 )
= sinē x Ũ cosē y + sinē y Ũ cosē x + 2cos x Ũ cos y Ũ sin x Ũ sin y
= (sin x Ũ cos y)ē + (sin y Ũ cos x)ē + 2cos x Ũ cos y Ũ sin x Ũ sin y
= (sin x Ũ cos y + sin y Ũ cos x)ē
= {sin (x + y)}ē
= sinē (x + y)
Question 8.

Answer
Answer: (d) aē + bē – cē
Hint:
We have
(aŨcos x + b Ũ sin x)ē + (a Ũ sin x – b Ũ cos x)ē = aē + bē
? cē + (a Ũ sin x – b Ũ cos x)ē = aē + bē
? (a Ũ sin x – b Ũ cos x)ē = aē + bē – cē
Question 9.

(a) p/3
(b) p/2
(c) 2p/3
(d) 3p/2
Answer
Answer: (c) 2p/3
Hint:
Given, the sides of a triangle are 13, 7, 8
Since greatest side has greatest angle,
Now Cos A = (bē + cē – aē)/2bc
? Cos A = (7ē + 8ē – 13ē)/(2Ũ7Ũ8)
? Cos A = (49 + 64 – 169)/(2Ũ7Ũ8)
? Cos A = (113 – 169)/(2Ũ7Ũ8)
? Cos A = -56/(2Ũ56)
? Cos A = -1/2
? Cos A = Cos 2p/3
? A = 2p/3
So, the greatest angle is
= 2p/3
Question 10.
The value of tan 20 Ũ tan 40 Ũ tan 80 is
(a) tan 30
(b) tan 60
(c) 2 tan 30
(d) 2 tan 60
Answer
Answer: (b) tan 60
Hint:
Given, tan 20 Ũ tan 40 Ũ tan 80
= tan 40 Ũ tan 80 Ũ tan 20
= [{sin 40 Ũ sin 80}/{cos 40 Ũ cos 80}] Ũ (sin 20/cos 20)
= [{2 * sin 40 Ũ sin 80}/{2 Ũ cos 40 Ũ cos 80}] Ũ (sin 20/cos 20)
= [{cos 40 – cos 120}/{cos 120 + cos 40}] Ũ (sin 20/cos 20)
= [{cos 40 – cos (90 + 30)}/{cos (90 + 30) + cos 40}] Ũ (sin 20/cos 20)
= [{cos 40 + sin30}/{-sin30 + cos 40}] Ũ (sin 20/cos 20)
= [{(2 Ũ cos 40 + 1)/2}/{(-1 + cos 40)/2}] Ũ (sin 20/cos 20)
= [{2 Ũ cos 40 + 1}/{-1 + cos 40}] Ũ (sin 20/cos 20)
= [{2 Ũ cos 40 Ũ sin 20 + sin 20}/{-cos 20 + cos 40 Ũ cos 20}]
= (sin 60 – sin 20 + sin 20)/(-cos 20 + cos 60 + cos 20)
= sin 60/cos 60
= tan 60
So, tan 20 Ũ tan 40 Ũ tan 80 = tan 60

Answer
Answer: (a) 4 : (v5 – 1)
Hint:
Given, the angles of a triangle be in the ratio 1 : 4 : 5
? x + 4x + 5x = 180
? 10x = 180
? x = 180/10
? x = 18
So, the angle are: 18, 72, 90
Since a : b : c = sin A : sin B : sin C
? a : b : c = sin 18 : sin 72 : sin 90
? a : b : c = (v5 – 1)/4 : {v(10 + 2v5)}/4 : 1
? a : b : c = (v5 – 1) : {v(10 + 2v5)} : 4

? (v3/2)cos x – (1/2)sin x = 1/2
? sin 60 Ũ cos x – cos 60 Ũ sin x = 1/2
? sin (x – 60) = 1/2
? sin (x – p/3) = sin 30
? sin (x – p/3) = sinp/6
? x – p/3 = n Ũ p + (-1)n Ũ (p/6) {where n ? Z}
? x = p/3 + n Ũ p + (-1)n Ũ (p/6)

Hint:
Given,
tan A – tan B = x ……………. 1
and cot B – cot A = y ……………. 2
From equation,
1/cot A – 1/cot B = x
? (cot B – cot A)/(cot A Ũ cot B) = x
? y/(cot A Ũ cot B) = x {from equation 2}
? y = x Ũ (cot A Ũ cot B)
? cot A Ũ cot B = y/x
Now, cot (A – B) = (cot A Ũ cot B + 1)/(cot B – cot A)
? cot (A – B) = (y/x + 1)/y
? cot (A – B) = (y/x) Ũ (1/y) + 1/y
? cot (A – B) = 1/x + 1/y

= 4 Ũ sin x Ũ {sin x Ũ cos p/3 + cos x Ũ sin p/3} Ũ {sin x Ũ cos 2p/3 + cos x Ũ sin 2p/3}
= 4 Ũ sin x Ũ {(sin x)/2 + (v3 Ũ cos x)/2} Ũ {-(sin x)/2 + (v3 Ũ cos x)/2}
= 4 Ũ sin x Ũ {-(sin 2x)/4 + (3 Ũ cos 2x)/4}
= sin x Ũ {-sin 2x + 3 Ũ cos 2x}
= sin x Ũ {-sin 2x + 3 Ũ (1 – sin 2x)}
= sin x Ũ {-sin 2x + 3 – 3 Ũ sin 2x}
= sin x Ũ {3 – 4 Ũ sin 2x}
= 3 Ũ sin x – 4 sin 3x
= sin 3x

Hint:
Given, cos 20 + 2sinē 55 – v2 sin65
= cos 20 + 1 – cos 110 – v2 sin65 {since cos 2x = 1 – 2sinē x}
= 1 + cos 20 – cos 110 – v2 sin65
= 1 – 2 Ũ sin {(20 + 110)/2 Ũ sin{(20 – 110)/2} – v2 sin65 {Apply cos C – cos D formula}
= 1 – 2 Ũ sin 65 Ũ sin (-45) – v2 sin65
= 1 + 2 Ũ sin 65 Ũ sin 45 – v2 sin65
= 1 + (2 Ũ sin 65)/v2 – v2 sin65
= 1 + v2 ( sin 65 – v2 sin 65

Answer
Answer: (a) 2p/3
Hint:
Let S be the center of the circumcircle of triangle PQR.
So, SP = SQ = SR = PQ = PR, where SP, SQ & SR are radii.
Thus SPQ & SPR are equilateral triangles.
? ?QSP = 60°;
Similarly ?RQP = 60°
? Angle at the center QSP = 120°
So, SRPQ is a rhombus, since all the four sides are equal.
Hence, its opposite angles are equal; so ?P = ?QSP = 120°

? cos((A-C)/2) = 2sin (B/2)
? cos((A-C)/2) = 2cos((A+C)/2)
? cos((A-C)/2) – cos((A+C)/2) = cos((A+C)/2)
? 2sin(A/2)sin(C/2) = sin(B/2)
? 2{v(s-b)(s-c)vbc} Ũ {v(s-a)(s-b)vab} = v(s-a)(s-c)vac
? 2(s – b) = b
? a + b + c – 2b = b

? a + c = 2b
Question 19.
If the angles of a triangle be in the ratio 1 : 4 : 5, then the ratio of the greatest side to the smallest side is
(a) 4 : (v5 – 1)
(b) 5 : 4
(c) (v5 – 1) : 4
(d) none of these
Answer
Answer: (a) 4 : (v5 – 1)
Hint:
Given, the angles of a triangle be in the ratio 1 : 4 : 5
? x + 4x + 5x = 180
? 10x = 180
? x = 180/10
? x = 18
So, the angle are: 18, 72, 90
Since a : b : c = sin A : sin B : sin C
? a : b : c = sin 18 : sin 72 : sin 90
? a : b : c = (v5 – 1)/4 : {v(10 + 2v5)}/4 : 1
? a : b : c = (v5 – 1) : {v(10 + 2v5)} : 4

Question 20.
The value of cos 180° is
(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) -1
(d) infinite
Answer
Answer: (c) -1
Hint:
180 is a standard degree generally we all know their values but if we want to go theoretically then
cos(90 + x) = – sin(x)
So, cos 180 = cos(90 + 90)
= -sin 90
= -1 {sin 90 = 1}
So, cos 180 = -1
