SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 54

SSC CGL - 03 Dec 2022 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q54

If  k−kcot230°1+cot230°{{k-kcot^230°} \over 1+cot^230°} =sin260°+4tan245°−cosec260°=sin^260°+4tan^245°-cosec^260°, then the value of k (correct to two decimal places) is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. - 6.83.

Calculations:

According to the question;

⇒ k−kcot230°1+cot230°{{k-kcot^230°} \over 1+cot^230°} =sin260°+4tan245°−cosec260°=sin^260°+4tan^245°-cosec^260°,

⇒ (k - 3k)/(1 + 3) = 3/4 + 4 - 4/3

⇒ -2k/4 = 41/12

⇒ -6k = 41

⇒ k = - 6.83
