SSC CGL 2021 PYQ — Question 62

SSC CGL - 20 Aug 2021 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q62

If cot θ=158,θ\theta = \frac{15}{8}, \theta is an acute angle, then find the value of (1−cosθ)(2+2cosθ)(2−2sinθ)(1+sinθ)\frac{(1-cos\theta)(2+2cos\theta)}{(2-2sin\theta)(1+sin\theta)}

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e.  64225\frac{64}{225}

cotθ\theta = 15/8 = B/P

Hypotenuse = 152+82\sqrt{15^2 +8^2} = 17

Sinθ\theta = P/H = 8/17

Cosθ\theta = B/H = 15/17

= [(1 - 15/17)(2 + 2 × 15/17)]/[(2 - 2 × 8/17)(1 + 8/17)]

= 64/225
