SSC CHSL 2023 PYQ — Question 57

SSC CHSL - 10 March 2023 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q57

If sin (C+D) = √3/2 and sec (C-D) = 2/32/\sqrt3, then what is the value of C and D?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 45° and 15°.

sin(C + D) = √3/2 = sin 60°

⇒ C + D = 60°   .....(1)

sec(C - D) = 2/√3 = sec 30°

⇒ C - D = 30°   .....(2)

From equations (1) and (2), we get

C = 45° and D = 15°

Therefore, the values of C and D are 45° and 15°.
