SSC CGL - 14 July 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q58

If cos θ = √3/2, then tan2θcos2θ = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 1/4.

⇒ cos θ = √3/2

⇒ cosθ = cos(30)

⇒ θ = 30

Value of tan2θ × cos2θ = tan2(30) × cos2(30)

= (1/√3)2 × (√3/2)2

= 1/3 × 3/4

= 1/4
