SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 68

SSC CGL - 19 April 2022 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q68

If cot2α + tan2α = 2,0° ≤ α ≤ 90°, then find the value of α

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 45°

We know that tanx = 1 when x = 45° and cotx = 1 when x = 45°

Thus, cot2α + tan2α = 2 when α = 45°
