If $\text{cosec x}+\cot\text{x}=\frac{11}{2},$ then $\tan\text{x}=$
- A$\frac{21}{22}$
- B$\frac{15}{16}$
- C$\frac{44}{117}$
- D$\frac{117}{43}$
Solution:
We have:
$\text{cosec}\text{ x}+\cot\text{x}=\frac{11}{2}\cdots(1)$$$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{cosec}\text{ x}+\cot\text{x}}=\frac{2}{11}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{cosec}^2\text{x}-\cot\text{x}}{\text{cosec}\text{ x}-\cot\text{x}}=\frac{2}{11}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{(\text{cosec}\text{ x}+\cot\text{x})(\text{cosec}\text{ x}-\cot\text{x})}{(\text{cosec}\text{ x}+\cot\text{x})}=\frac{2}{11}$
$\therefore\text{cosec}\text{ x}-\cot\text{x}=\frac{2}{11}\cdots(2)$
subtracting (2) from (1):
$\Rightarrow 2\cot\text{x}=\frac{11}{2}-\frac{2}{11}$
$\Rightarrow2\cot\text{x}=\frac{121-4}{22}$
$\Rightarrow2\cot\text{x}=\frac{117}{22}$
$\Rightarrow\cot\text{x}=\frac{117}{44}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\tan\text{x}}=\frac{117}{44}$
$\Rightarrow\tan\text{x}=\frac{44}{117}$

L is the foot of the perpendicular drawn from a point P(3, 4, 5) on the xy-plane. The coordinates of point L are:
One vertex of the equilateral triangle with centroid at the origin and one side as x + y - 2 = 0 is:
[Hint: Let ABC be the equilateral triangle with vertex A (h, k) and let $\text{D}(\alpha,\beta)$ be the point on BC. Then $\frac{2\alpha+\text{h}}{3}=0=\frac{2\beta+\text{k}}{3}.$ Also $\alpha+\beta-2=0$ and $\frac{\text{k}-0}{\text{h}-0}\times(-1)=-1\Big].$
