⇔ sin 43° cos (90° – 43°) + cos 43° sin (90° – 43°)
= sin 43° sin 43° + cos 43° cos 43°
= sin2 43° + cos2 43° – 1
∴ The correct answer is 2. 1

Example 2. The value of \(\left(\frac{\tan 35^{\circ}}{\cot 55^{\circ}}+\frac{\cot 78^{\circ}}{\tan 12^{\circ}}\right)\) is
- 0
- 1
- 2
- None of these
Solution: \(\frac{\tan 35^{\circ}}{\cot 55^{\circ}}+\frac{\cot 78^{\circ}}{\tan 12^{\circ}}\)
= \(\frac{\tan 35^{\circ}}{\cot \left(90^{\circ}-35^{\circ}\right)}+\frac{\cot 78^{\circ}}{\tan \left(90^{\circ}-78^{\circ}\right)}=\frac{\tan 35^{\circ}}{\tan 35^{\circ}}+\frac{\cot 78^{\circ}}{\cot 78^{\circ}}\)
= 1 + 1 = 2
∴ The correct answer is 3. 2

Example 3. The value of {cos (40° + θ) – sin (50° – θ)} is
- 2 cosθ
- 7 sinθ
- 0
- 1
Solution: cos (40° + θ) – sin (50° – θ)
= cos (40° +θ) – cos {90° – (50° – θ)) = cos (40° + θ) – cos (90° – 50° + θ)
= cos (40° + θ) – cos (40° + θ) = 0
∴ The correct answer is 3. 0
Example 4. ABC is a triangle, \(\sin \left(\frac{B+C}{2}\right)\) =
- sin \(\frac{A}{2}\)
- cos \(\frac{A}{2}\)
- sin A
- cos A
Solution: A + B + C = 180°
\(\sin \left(\frac{B+C}{2}\right)=\sin \left(\frac{180^{\circ}-A}{2}\right)\)= \(\sin \left(90^{\circ}-\frac{A}{2}\right)=\cos \frac{A}{2}\)
∴ The correct answer is 2. cos \(\frac{A}{2}\)
Example 5. If A + B = 90° and tan A = \(\frac{3}{4}\), then the value of cot B is
- \(\frac{3}{4}\)
- \(\frac{4}{3}\)
- \(\frac{3}{5}\)
- \(\frac{4}{5}\)
Solution: tan A = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
⇒ tan (90° – B) = \(\frac{3}{4}\) [as A + B = 90°]
⇒ cot B = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
∴ The correct answer is 1. \(\frac{3}{4}\)

Example 6. If tanθ tan 2θ = 1, and 20 is positive acute angle then the value of sin 3θ is
- 0
- 1
- -1
- 2
Solution: tanθ tan 2θ= 1
⇒ tan 2θ = \(\frac{1}{\tan \theta}\)
⇒ tan 2θ = cotθ
⇒ tan 2θ = tan (90° – θ)
⇒ 2θ = 90° – θ
⇒ 3θ = 90°
sin 3θ = sin 90° = 1
∴ The correct answer is 2. 1
Example 7. The value of \(\left(\frac{1}{\cos ^2 75^{\circ}}-\frac{1}{\tan ^2 15^{\circ}}\right)\) is
- 1
- 0
- -1
- 2
Solution: \(\left(\frac{1}{\cos ^2 75^{\circ}}-\frac{1}{\tan ^2 15^{\circ}}\right)\)
= sec275° – cot215°
= sec275° – cot2 (90° – 75°)
= sec275° – tan275° = 1
∴ The correct answer is 1. 1

Example 8. If α + β = 90°, then the value of \(\frac{\tan \alpha-\cot \beta}{\tan \alpha+\cot \beta}\) is
- 3
- 1
- 0
- \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
Solution: \(\frac{\tan \alpha-\cot \beta}{\tan \alpha+\cot \beta}=\frac{\tan \alpha-\cot \left(90^{\circ}-\alpha\right)}{\tan \alpha+\cot \left(90^{\circ}-\alpha\right)}\)
= \(\frac{\tan \alpha-\tan \alpha}{\tan \alpha+\tan \alpha}=0\)
∴ The correct answer is 3. 0
