SSC CGL 2021 PYQ — Question 56

SSC CGL - 20 Aug 2021 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q56

If cos(2θ\theta + 54º) = sinθ\theta, 0º<(2θ\theta+54º)<90º, then what is the value of 1cot5θ+sec5θ2\frac{1}{cot5\theta + sec \frac{5 \theta}{2}}?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 33\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}

 cos(2θ\theta + 54º) = sinθ\theta

sin(90 -  2θ\theta - 54) = sinθ\theta

36 - 2θ\theta = θ\theta

θ\theta = 12°

= 1cot5θ+sec5θ2\frac{1}{cot5\theta + sec \frac{5 \theta}{2}} = 1/(cot60 + sec30) = 1/(1/3\sqrt3 + 2/3\sqrt3) 

= 3\sqrt3/3.
