SSC CGL 2021 PYQ — Question 74

SSC CGL - 17 Aug 2021 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q74

If sin A = 1/2, A is an acute angle, then find the value of tanA−cotA3(1+cosecA)\frac{tan A- cot A}{\sqrt3(1+ cosecA)}

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e  −29-\frac{2}{9}.

⇒ sin A = 1/2

⇒ sin A = sIn 30°

⇒ A = 30°

Now, tanA−cotA3(1+cosecA)\frac{tan A- cot A}{\sqrt3(1+ cosecA)}= tan 30°−cot 30°3(1+cosec 30°)\frac{tan \ 30 °- cot\ 30 °}{\sqrt3(1+ cosec \ 30 °)}

⇒ 13−33(1+2)\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt3}- \sqrt3}{\sqrt3(1+ 2)} 

⇒ −29-\frac{2}{9}
