SSC CGL 2024 PYQ — Question 57

SSC CGL - 24 Sep 2024 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q57

if 2sin2θ + 3sin θ - 2 = 0, (0 > θ > 90° ) then the value of θ is :

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 30°.

Given that, 2sin2θ + 3sinθ - 2 = 0

⇒ 2sin2θ + 4sinθ - sinθ - 2 = 0

⇒ 2sinθ(sinθ + 2) - 1(sinθ + 2) = 0

⇒ (2sinθ - 1)(sinθ + 2) = 0

sinθ = 1/2; sinθ = -2 (Not possible)

⇒ sinθ = 1/2

⇒ θ = 30°
