Question 13 Marks
Find the sum of all even integers between 101 and 999.
Answer
All even integers will have common differnce = 2
$\therefore$ A.P. is $102,\ 104,\ 106,\ ...,\ 998$
$\text{t}_\text{n}=\text{a}+(\text{n}-1)\text{d}$
$\text{t}_\text{n}=998,\text{a}=102,\text{d}=2$
$998=102+(\text{n}-1)(2)$
$998=102+2\text{n}-2$
$998-100=2\text{n}$
$2\text{n}=898$
$\text{n}=449$
s449 can be calculated by
$=\text{s}_\text{n}\frac{\text{n}}{2}[\text{a}+\text{l}]$
$=\frac{449}{2}[102+998]$
$=\frac{449}{2}[102+998]$
$=449\times550$
$=346950$

Question 23 Marks
If in $\text{a}\triangle\text{ABC},\tan\text{B}+\tan\text{C}=6,$ then $\cot\text{A}\cot\text{B}\cot\text{C}=$
  1. $6$
  2. $1$
  3. $\frac16$
  4. None of these
Answer
  1. $\frac16$

Solution:.

In $\triangle\text{ABC},$

$\text{A+B+C}=\pi$

We know that $\tan(\text{A+B+C)}=\frac{\tan\text{A}+\tan\text{B}+\tan\text{C}-\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}\tan\text{C}}{1-\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}-\tan\text{B}\tan\text{C}-\tan\text{C}\tan\text{A}}$ and $\tan\pi=0.$

$\therefore\tan\text{A}+\tan\text{B}+\tan\text{C}-\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}\tan\text{C}=0$

$\tan\text{A}+\tan\text{B}+\tan\text{C}=\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}\tan\text{C}$

If $\tan\text{A}+\tan\text{B}+\tan\text{C}=6,\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}\tan\text{C}=6$

$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}\tan\text{C}}=\frac16$

$\Rightarrow\cot\text{A}\cot\text{B}\cot\text{C}=\frac16$

  1. $\frac{1+\text{k}}{1-\text{k}}$
  2. $\frac{1-\text{k}}{1+\text{k}}$
  3. $\frac{\text{k}+1}{\text{k}-1}$
  4. $\frac{\text{k}-1}{\text{k}+1}$
Answer
  1. $\frac{1+\text{k}}{1-\text{k}}$

Solution:

$\frac{\cos(\theta_1-\theta_2)}{\cos(\theta_1+\theta_2)}$

$=\frac{\cos\theta_1\cos\theta_2+\sin\theta_1\sin\theta_2}{\cos\theta_1\cos\theta_2-0\sin\theta_1\sin\theta_2}$

Dividing numerator and denominator by $\cos\theta_1\cos\theta_2,$ we get:

$\frac{1+\tan\theta_1\tan\theta_2}{1-\tan\theta_1\tan\theta_2}$

$=\frac{1+\text{k}}{1-\text{k}}$

  1. $-1$
  2. $\frac12$
  3. $\frac{-1}{2}$
  4. none of these
Answer
  1. $\frac{-1}{2}$

Solution:

$\tan135^\circ=\tan(90^\circ+45^\circ)$

$=-\tan45^\circ$

$=-1$

Or, $\tan(69^\circ+66^\circ)=\frac{\tan69^\circ+\tan66^\circ}{1-\tan69^\circ\tan66^\circ}$

$\Rightarrow-1=\frac{\tan69^\circ+\tan66^\circ}{1-\tan69^\circ\tan66^\circ}$

$\Rightarrow\tan69^\circ+\tan66^\circ-\tan69^\circ+\tan66^\circ=-1$

$\therefore2\text{k}=-1$

$\Rightarrow\text{k}=\frac{-1}{2}$

  1. $\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}\tan\text{C}$
  2. $0$
  3. $1$
  4. None of these
Answer
  1. $1$

Solution:

$\pi=180^\circ$

Using $\tan(180^\circ-\text{A})=-\tan\text{A},$ we get:

$\text{C}=\pi-(\text{A+B})$

Now, $\frac{\tan\text{A}+\tan\text{B}+\tan\text{C}}{\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}\tan\text{C}}$

$=\frac{\tan\text{A}+\tan\text{B}-\tan[\pi-\text{(A+B)}]}{\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}\tan[\pi-\text{(A+B)}]}$

$=\frac{\tan\text{A}+\tan\text{B}-\tan\text{(A+B)}}{-\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}\tan\text{(A+B)}}$

$=\frac{\tan\text{A}+\tan\text{B}-\frac{\tan\text{A}+\tan\text{B}}{1-\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}}}{-\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}\times\frac{\tan\text{A}+\tan\text{B}}{1-\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}}}$

$=\frac{\tan\text{A}+\tan\text{B}-\tan^2\text{A}\tan\text{B}-\tan\text{A}\tan^2\text{B}-\tan\text{A}-\tan\text{B}}{-\tan^2\text{A}\tan\text{B}-\tan\text{A}\tan^2\text{B}}$

$=\frac{-\tan^2\text{A}\tan\text{B}-\tan\text{A}\tan^2\text{B}}{-\tan^2\text{A}\tan\text{B}-\tan\text{A}\tan^2\text{B}}$

  2. $\frac{19\pi}{24}$
  3. $\frac{13\pi}{24}$
  4. $\frac{11\pi}{24}$
Answer
  1. $\frac{19\pi}{24}$

Solution:

Given:

$\tan(\text{A - B})=1$ and $\sec(\text{A+B})=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$

$\Rightarrow\text{A - B}=\frac{\pi}{4}\cdots(1)$ and $\text{A + B}=\frac{\pi}{4}\cdots(2)$

Adding these equations we get:

$2\text{A}=\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac\pi6$

$\Rightarrow\text{A}=\frac{5\pi}{24}$

$\Rightarrow$ Smallest possible value of $\text{B}=\pi-\frac{5\pi}{24}=\frac{19\pi}{24}.$

Question 93 Marks
The maximum value of $\sin^2\Big(\frac{2\pi}{3}+\text{x}+\sin^2\Big(\frac{2\pi}{3}-\text{x}\Big)$ is:
  1. $\frac12$
  2. $\frac32$
  3. $\frac14$
  4. $\frac34$
Answer
  1. $\frac32$

Solution:

$\frac{2\pi}{3}=120^\circ$

Let $\text{f(x)}=\sin^2(90+30+\text{x})+\sin^2(90+30-\text{x})$

$=[\cos(30+\text{x})]^2+[\cos(30=\text{x})]^2$ $[\text{Using }\sin(90+\text{A})=\cos\text{A}]$

$=\Big[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cos\text{x}-\frac12\sin\text{x}\Big]^2+\Big[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cos\text{x}-\frac12\sin\text{x}\Big]^2$

$=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cos^2\text{x}-\frac14\sin^2\text{x}-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cos\text{x}\sin\text{x}+\frac34\cos^2\text{x}+\frac14\sin^2\text{x}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cos\text{x}\sin\text{x}$

$=\frac{3}{2}\cos^2\text{x}-\frac12\sin^2\text{x}$

$=\frac{3}{2}(1-\sin^2\text{x})+\frac12\sin^2\text{x}$

$=\frac32-\frac{3}{2}\sin^2\text{x}+\frac12\sin^2\text{x}$

$=\frac32-\sin^2\text{x}$.

For f(x) to be maximum, $\sin^2\text{x}$ must have minimum value, which is 0.

$\therefore\frac32$ is the maximum value of f(x).

Question 103 Marks
If $\sin(\pi\cos\text{x})=\cos(\pi\sin\text{x}),$ then $\sin2\text{x}=$
  1. $\pm\frac34$
  2. $\pm\frac43$
  3. $\pm\frac13$
  4. None of these
Answer
  1. $\pm\frac13$

Solution:

$\sin(\pi\cos\text{x})=\cos(\pi\sin\text{x})$

As we know that $\sin\text{x}=-\cos\Big(\frac\pi2+\text{x}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow-\cos\Big(\frac\pi2+\pi\cos\text{x}\Big)=\cos(\pi\sin\text{x})$

$\Rightarrow\frac{-\pi}{2}-\pi\cos\text{x}=\pi\sin\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\pi\sin\text{x}-\pi\cos\text{x}=\frac12$

$\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}-\cos\text{x}=\frac12$

Squaring both sides we get,

$\Rightarrow\sin^2\text{x}+\cos^2\text{x}+2\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}=\frac14$

$\Rightarrow1+\sin2\text{x}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\Rightarrow\sin2\text{x}=\frac13$

$\therefore\sin2\text{x}=\pm\frac13$

Question 113 Marks
If $\tan\alpha=\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}+1}$ and $\tan\beta=\frac{1}{2\text{x}+1},$ then $\alpha+\beta$ is equal to:
  1. $\frac\pi2$
  2. $\frac\pi3$
  3. $\frac\pi6$
  4. $\frac\pi4$
Answer
  1. $\frac\pi4$

Solution:

It is given that $\tan\alpha=\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}+1}$ and $\tan\beta=\frac{1}{2\text{x}+1}.$

$\tan(\alpha+\beta)=\frac{\tan\alpha+\tan\beta}{1-\tan\alpha\tan\beta}$

$=\frac{\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}+1}+\frac{1}{2\text{x+1}}}{1-\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}+1}\times\frac{1}{2\text{x+1}}}$

$=\frac{\frac{\text{x}(2\text{x}+1)+(\text{x}+1)}{(\text{x}+1)(2\text{x}+1)}}{\frac{(\text{x}+1)(2\text{x}+1)-\text{x}}{(\text{x}+1)(2\text{x}+1)}}$

$=\frac{2\text{x}^2+\text{x}+\text{x}+1}{2\text{x}^2+3\text{x}+1+\text{x}}$

$=\frac{2\text{x}^2+2\text{x}+1}{2\text{x}^2+2\text{x}+1}$

$=1$

$\therefore\alpha+\beta=\frac\pi4\ (\tan\frac\pi4=1)$

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Question 123 Marks
The value of $\sin^2\frac{5\pi}{12}-\sin^2\frac{\pi}{12}$ is:
  1. $\frac12$
  2. $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
  3. $1$
  4. $0$
Answer
  1. $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Solution:

$\frac{5\pi}{12}=75^\circ,\frac{\pi}{12}=15^\circ$

$\sin^275^\circ-\sin^215^\circ$

$=\sin^275^\circ-\cos^275^\circ$ $[\sin(90^\circ-\theta)=\cos\theta]$.

Now, $\sin75^\circ=\sin(45^\circ+30^\circ)$

$=\sin45^\circ\cos30^\circ+\cos45^\circ\sin30^\circ$

$=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\times\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\times\frac12$

$=\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2\sqrt{2}}$

$\cos75^\circ=\cos(45^\circ+30^\circ)$

$=\cos45^\circ\cos30^\circ-\sin45^\circ\sin30^\circ$

$=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\times\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\times\frac12$

$=\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2\sqrt{2}}$

Hence,

$\sin^275^\circ-\cos^275^\circ=\Big(\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2\sqrt{2}}\Big)^2-\Big(\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2\sqrt{2}}\Big)^2$

$=\frac{3+1+2\sqrt{3}-3-1+2\sqrt{3}}{8}$

$=\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{8}$

$=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

  1. 2
  2. 1
  3. 0
  4. 3
Answer
  1. 2

Solution:

$\tan(\text{A - B})=\tan\frac\pi4$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\tan\text{A}-\tan\text{B}}{1+\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}}=1$

$\Rightarrow\tan\text{A}-\tan\text{B}=1+\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}\cdots(1)$

Now,

$(1+\tan\text{A})(1-\tan\text{B})=1+\tan\text{A}-\tan\text{B}-\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}$

$=1+1+\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}-\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}$

Question 143 Marks
If $\cos\text{P}=\frac{1}{7}$ then $\cos\text{Q}=\frac{13}{14},$ where P and Q both are acute angles. Then, the value of P - Q is:

  1. $\frac{\pi}{6}$

  2. $\frac\pi3$

  3. $\frac\pi4$

  4. $\frac{5\pi}{12}$

Answer
  1. $\frac\pi3$

Solution:

$\cos\text{P}=\frac17,\cos\text{Q}=\frac{13}{14}$

$\therefore\sin\text{P}=\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{49}}=\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{7}$ and $\sin\text{Q}=\sqrt{1-\frac{169}{196}}=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{14}$

Hence, $\tan\text{P}=4\sqrt{3},\tan\text{Q}=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{13}$

$\cos(\text{P - Q})=\cos\text{P}\cos\text{Q}+\sin\text{P}\sin\text{Q}$

$=\frac{1}{7}\times\frac{13}{14}+\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{7}\times\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{14}$

$=\frac{13+36}{98}$

$=\frac{49}{98}$

$\therefore\cos(\text{P - Q})=\frac12$

$\Rightarrow\text{P - Q}=\cos^{-1}\frac12$

$\Rightarrow\text{P - Q}=60^\circ$

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

  2. $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  3. $\frac\pi3$
  4. $\frac\pi4$
Answer
  1. $\frac\pi4$

Solution:.

$\tan(\text{A+B})=\frac{\tan\text{A}+\tan\text{B}}{1-\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}}$

$=\frac{\frac{\text{a}}{\text{a}+1}+\frac{1}{2\text{a}+1}}{1-\frac{\text{a}}{(\text{a}+1)(2\text{a}+1)}}$

$=\frac{2\text{a}^2+\text{a}+\text{a}+1}{2\text{a}^2+3\text{a}+1-\text{a}}$

$=\frac{2\text{a}^2+2\text{a}+1}{2\text{a}^2+2\text{a}+1}$

$=1$

$\therefore \text{ A+B}=\tan^{-1}(1)=\frac\pi4.$

If $\text{A+B+C}=\pi,$ then $\sec\text{A}(\cos\text{B}\cos\text{C}-\sin^2\text{B}\sin\text{C})$ is equal to:
  1. 0
  2. -1
  3. 1
  4. None of these
Answer
  1. -1

Solution:

$\pi=180^\circ$

$\sec\text{A}(\cos\text{B}\cos\text{C}-\sin^2\text{B}\sin\text{C})=\frac{\cos\text{B}\cos(\pi-(\text{A+B}))-\sin\text{B}\sin(\pi(\text{A+B}))}{\cos\text{A}}$

We know that, $\cos(\pi-\theta)=-\cos\theta$ and $\sin(\pi-\theta)=\sin\theta,$

$\therefore\sec\text{A}(\cos\text{B}\cos\text{C}-\sin\text{B}\sin\text{C})=\frac{\cos\text{B}\cos(\text{A+B})-\sin\text{B}\sin(\text{A+B})}{\cos\text{A}}$

Now, using the identities $\cos(\text{A+B})=\cos\text{A}\cos\text{B}-\sin\text{A}\sin\text{B}$ and $\sin(\text{A+B})=\sin\text{A}\cos\text{B}+\cos\text{A}\sin\text{B},$ we get

$\sec\text{A}(\cos\text{B}\cos\text{C}-\sin\text{B}\sin\text{C})=\frac{-\cos\text{A}\cos\text{B}^2+\cos\text{B}\sin\text{A}\sin\text{B}-\sin\text{B}\sin\text{A}\cos\text{B}-\sin^2\cos\text{A}}{\cos\text{A}}$

$\Rightarrow\sec\text{A}(\cos\text{B}\cos\text{C}-\sin\text{B}\sin\text{C})=\frac{-\cos\text{A}(\cos^2\text{B}+\sin^2\text{B})}{\cos\text{A}}$

$\Rightarrow\sec\text{A}(\cos\text{B}\cos\text{C}-\sin\text{B}\sin\text{C})=\frac{-\cos\text{A}}{\cos\text{A}}=-1$

  3. $\tan\text{A}\tan2\text{A}\tan2\text{A}\tan3\text{A}-\tan3\text{A}\tan\text{A}$
  4. Non of these
Answer
  1. $\tan3\text{A}\tan2\text{A}\tan\text{A}$

Solution:.

$3\text{A}=2\text{A}+\text{A}$

$\Rightarrow\tan3\text{A}=\tan(2\text{A}+\text{A})$

$\Rightarrow\tan3\text{A}=\tan(2\text{A}+\text{A})=\frac{\tan2\text{A}+\tan\text{A}}{1-\tan2\text{A}\tan\text{A}}$

$\Rightarrow\tan3\text{A}-\tan3\text{A}\tan2\text{A}\tan\text{A}=\tan2\text{A}+\tan\text{A}$

$\Rightarrow\tan3\text{A}-\tan2\text{A}-\tan\text{A}=\tan3\text{A}\tan2\text{A}\tan\text{A}$

Question 253 Marks
A piece of equipment cost a certain factory ₹ 600,000. If it depreciates in value, 15% the first, 13.5% the next year, 12% the third year, and so on. What will be its value at the end of 10 years, all percentages applying to the original cost?
Answer
The piece of equipment deprecites 15% in first year i.e., $\frac{15}{100}\times600,000=₹\ 90,000$

$\therefore$ value after 1st year $=600,000-90,000$

$=₹\ 510,000$

The equipment deprecites at the rate 135% in 2nd year i.e., $\frac{135}{1000}\times600,000=81000$

$\therefore$ value after 2 nd year =81000

The value after 3rd year $=\frac{12}{100}\times600000=72000$

The total depreciation in 10 years

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_{10}=\frac{10}{2}[2\times81000+(9)(-9000)]$

$=5[81000]$ $\big[$ using $\text{S}_\text{n}=\frac{\text{n}}{2}[2\text{a}+(\text{n}-1)\text{d}]$

$\therefore$ The cost of machine aftar 10 years $=₹\ 600000-405000$

$=105000$

Answer
Here the first term a = 2.
Let the common difference is d.
Now,
$\frac{5}{2}[2\text{a}+(5-1)\text{d}]=\frac{1}{4}\Big[\frac{5}{2}[2(\text{a}+\text{d}5)+(5-1)\text{d}]\Big]$

Question 483 Marks
In a cricket team tournament 16 teams participated. A sum of ₹ 8000 is to be awarded among themselves as prize money. If the last place team is awarded ₹ 275 in prize money and the award increases by the same amount for successive finishing places, then how much amount will the first place team receive?
Answer
Suppose the award increases by ₹ x.

$\text{d}=\text{x}$

In cricket team tournament 16 teams participated.

$\text{n}=16$

The last place team is awarded ₹ 275 in prize money

$\text{a}_1=275$

Sum of ₹ 8000 is to be awarded as prize money

$\text{S}=8000$

$\frac{16}{2}[\text{a}_1+\text{a}_1+(16-1)\times]=8000$

$2\text{a}_1+15\text{x=1000}$

$15\text{x}=450$

$\text{x}=30$

The amount received by first place team

$=\text{a}_{16}$

$=\text{a}_1+(16-1)\text{d}$

$=275+15\times30$

$=725$

The amount received by first place team is ₹ 725.

Question 493 Marks
We know that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. Show that the sums of the interior angles of polygons with 3, 4, 5, 6, ... sides form an arithmetic progression. Find the sum of the interior angles for a 21 sided polygon. 
Answer
We know that sum of interior angles of a polygon with n sides is given by,
$\text{a}_\text{n}=180^\circ(\text{n}-2)$
Sum of interior angles of a polygon with 3 sides is given by,
$\text{a}_3=180^\circ(3-2)=180^\circ\ .....(1)$
Sum of interior angles of a polygon with 7 sides is given by,
$\text{a}_4=180^\circ(4-2)=360^\circ\ .....(2)$
Sum of interior angles of a polygon with 5 sides is given by,
$\text{a}_5=180^\circ(5-2)=540^\circ\ .....(3)$
From eqn (2), eqn (2) and eqn (3) we get,
$\text{a}_4=360^\circ=180^\circ+180^\circ=\text{a}_4+180^\circ=\text{a}_4+\text{d}$
$\text{a}_5=540^\circ=180^\circ+360^\circ=\text{a}_5+2\text{d}$
Hence the sums of the interior angles of polygons with 3, 4, 5, 6, ... sides form an arithmetic progression.
Sum of interior angles of 21 sided polygon
$=180^\circ(21-2)$
$=3420^\circ$

Question 503 Marks
Insert five numbers between 8 and 26 such that the resulting sequence is an A.P.
Answer
Let A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 be five numbers between 8 and 26.
Let d be the common difference.
Then, we have:
 26 = A7
⇒ 26 = 8 + (7−1)d
⇒ 26 = 8 + 6d
⇒ d = 3
A1 = 8 + d = 8 + 3 = 11
A2 = 8 + 2d = 8 + 6 = 14
A3 = 8 + 3d = 8 + 9 = 17
A4 = 8 + 4d = 8 + 12 = 20
A5 = 8 + 5d = 8 + 15 = 23
Therefore, the five numbers are 11, 14, 17, 20, 23.
