SSC CHSL 2023 PYQ — Question 75

SSC CHSL - 11 Aug 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q75

If (4 sin θ + 5 cos θ ) = 3 , then the value of (4 cos θ -5 sin θ ) is : 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e.  42\sqrt{2} .

a sinθ + b cosθ = c

a cosθ − b sinθ = d

a2 + b2 = c2 + d2 

4 sinθ + 5 cosθ = 3

Let 4 cosθ − 5 sinθ = x

⇒ 42 + 52 = 32 + x2 

⇒ x = 41−9\sqrt{41-9} = 32\sqrt{32} =  42\sqrt{2}
