SSC Selection Post - Graduation Level - 26 June 2024 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q55

If cos 2θ = 0, where θ is an acute angle, then find the value of sin (75° - θ).

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 121\over2.

cos 2θ = 0

⇒ 2θ = 90° ⇒ θ = 45° (since θ is acute)

Now, sin(75° - θ) = sin(75° - 45°) = sin 30° = 1/2
