SSC CGL - 23 Sep 2025 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q56

If sin x = cos(2x - 10), find the value of x.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 33.33∘33.33^\circ.

sin x = cos(2x − 10)

cos θ = sin(90 − θ)

So,

sin x = sin[90 − (2x − 10)] = sin(100 − 2x)

Therefore,

⇒ x = 100 − 2x

⇒ 3x = 100

⇒ x = 1003100\over3° = 33.33°
