1. In ∆ ABC, right-angled at B, AB = 24 cm, BC = 7 cm. The value of tan C is:

a 12/7

b 24/7

c 20/7

d 7/24

Answer: b 24/7

Explanation: AB = 24 cm and BC = 7 cm

tan C = Opposite side/Adjacent side

tan C = 24/7

2. Sin30°+cos60°-sin60°+cos30° is equal to:

a 0

b 1+2√3

c 1-√3

d 1+√3

Answer: c 1-√3



Explanation: sin 30° = ½, sin 60° = √3/2, cos 30° = √3/2 and cos 60° = ½

Putting these values, we get:

½+½-3/2+3/2

= 1 –

(23)/2

= 1 – √3

3. The value of tan 60°/cot 30° is equal to:

a 0

b 1

c 2

d 3

Answer: b 1

Explanation: tan 60° = √3 and cot 30° = √3

Hence, tan 60°/cot 30° = √3/√3 = 1

4. 1 – cos2A is equal to:

a sin2A

b tan2A

c 1 – sin2A

d sec2A

Answer: a sin2A

Explanation: We know, by trigonometry identities,

sin2A + cos2A = 1

1 – cos2A = sin2A

5. sin 90°A and cos A are:

a Different

b Same

c Not related

d None of the above

Answer: b Same

Explanation: By trigonometry identities.

Sin 90°A = cos A {since 90°-A comes in the first quadrant of unit circle}

6. If cos X = ⅔ then tan X is equal to:

a 5/2

b √5/2

c √5/2

d 2/√5

Answer: c √5/2

Explanation: By trigonometry identities, we know:

1 + tan2X = sec2X

And sec X = 1/cos X = 1/ = 3/2

Hence,

1 + tan2X = 3/2= 9/4

tan2X = 9/4 – 1 = 5/4

tan X = √5/2

7. If cos X = a/b, then sin X is equal to:

a (b2-a2)/b

b ba/b

c √(b2-a2)/b

d √ba/b

Answer: c √(b2-a2)/b

Explanation: cos X = a/b

By trigonometry identities, we know that:

sin2X + cos2X = 1

sin2X = 1 – cos2X = 1-a/b2

sin X = √(b2-a2)/b

8. The value of sin 60° cos 30° + sin 30° cos 60° is:

a 0

b 1

c 2

d 4

Answer: b 1

Explanation: sin 60° = √3/2, sin 30° = ½, cos 60° = ½ and cos 30° = √3/2

Therefore,

3/2 x 3/2 + ½ x ½

3/4 + 1/4

= 4/4

= 1

9. 2 tan 30°/(1 + tan230°) =

a sin 60°

b cos 60°

c tan 60°

d sin 30°

Answer: a sin 60°

Explanation: tan 30° = 1/√3

Putting this value we get;

2(1/3)
/[1 + (1/√3)2] = 2/3/4/3 = 6/4√3 = √3/2 = sin 60°

10. sin 2A = 2 sin A is true when A =

a 30°

b 45°

c 0°

d 60°

Answer: c 0°

Explanation: sin 2A = sin 0° = 0

11. The value of sin45°+cos45° is

a 1/√2

b √2

c √3/2

d 1

Answer: b √2

Explanation:

sin 45° + cos 45° = 1/2 + 1/2

1+1/√2

= 2/√2

2.2/√2

= √2

12. If sin A = 1/2 , then the value of cot A is

a √3

b 1/√3

c √3/2

d 1

Answer: a √3

Explanation:

Given,

sin A = 1/2

cos2A = 1 – sin2A

= 1 – 1/22

= 1 – 1/4

41/4

= 3/4

cos A = √3/4 = √3/2

cot A = cos A/sin A = 3/2/1/2 = √3

13. If ∆ABC is right angled at C, then the value of cosA+B is

a 0 

b 1

c 1/2

d √3/2

Answer: a 0

Explanation:

Given that in a right triangle ABC, ∠C = 90°.

We know that the sum of the three angles is equal to 180°.

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° 

∠A + ∠B + 90° = 180° C=90° 

∠A + ∠B = 90° 

Now, cosA+B = cos 90° = 0

14. The value of tan1°tan2°tan3°tan89° is

a 0 

b 1 

c 2 

d 1/2

Answer: b 1

Explanation:

tan 1° tan 2° tan 3°…tan 89°

=

tan1°tan2°tan44°
tan 45°
tan(90°44°)tan(90°43°)tan(90°1°)

=

×
tan45°

= 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × …× 1     {since tan A × cot A = 1 and tan 45° = 1}

= 1   

15. The value of the expression

cosec(75°+θ)sec(15°θ)tan(55°+θ)+cot(35°θ)
is

a -1 

b 0 

c 1 

d 3/2

Answer: b 0

Explanation:

cosec(75°+θ)sec(15°θ)tan(55°+θ)+cot(35°θ)

= cosec

90°(15°θ)
– sec 15°θ – tan 55°+θ + cot
90°(55°+θ)
 

We know that cosec 90°θ = sec θ and cot90°θ = tan θ.

= sec 15°θ – sec 15°θ – tan 55°+θ + tan 55°+θ 

= 0

16. If cosα+β = 0, then sinαβ can be reduced to

a cos β 

b cos 2β 

c sin α 

d sin 2α

Answer: b cos 2β 

Explanation:

Given,

cosα+β = 0

cosα+β = cos 90°

⇒ α + β = 90°

⇒ α = 90° – β 

sinαβ = sin90°ββ

= sin90°2β 

= cos 2β    {since sin90°A = cos A}

17. If sin A + sin2A = 1, then the value of the expression (cos2A + cos4A) is

a 1 

b 1/2 

c 2 

d 3

Answer: a 1

Explanation:

Given,

sin A + sin2A = 1

sin A = 1 – sin2A

sin A = cos2A {since sin2θ + cos2θ = 1}

Squaring on both sides,

sin2A = (cos2A)2

1 – cos2A = cos4A

⇒ cos2A + cos4A = 1

18. If cos 9α = sinα and 9α < 90°, then the value of tan 5α is

a 1/√3

b √3

c 1

d 0

Answer: c 1

Explanation:

Given,

cos 9α = sin α and 9α < 90°

That means, 9α is an acute angle.

cos 9α = cos90°α

9α = 90° – α

9α + α = 90°

10α = 90°

α = 9°

tan 5α = tan5×9° = tan 45° = 1

19. The value of the expression \Extra \left or missing \right+cos\ 63^\circ\ sin\ 27^\circ \right ]\) is

a 3

b 2

c 1

d 0

Answer: b 2

Explanation:

Class 10 Maths Chapter 8 Introduction to trigonometry 19 A

20. The value of the expression sin6θ + cos6θ + 3 sin2θ cos2θ is

a 0

b 3

c 2

d 1

Answer: d 1

Explanation:

We know that, sin2θ + cos2θ = 1

Taking cube on both sides,

(sin2θ + cos2θ)3 = 1

(sin2θ)3 + (cos2θ)3 + 3 sin2θ cos2θ (sin2θ + cos2θ) = 1

sin6θ + cos6θ + 3 sin2θ cos2θ = 1
