SSC CHSL - 15th October 2020 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q59

If tan2x - 3sec2x + 3 = 0, then the value of x (0 ≤ x ≤ 90o) is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e 0o.

Understanding/Application

tan2x - 3sec2x + 3 = 0

tan2x - 3(1 + tan2x) + 3 = 0

tan2x - 3 - 3tan2x + 3 = 0

- 2tan2x = 0

tanx = 0

x = 00 (0 ≤ x ≤ 900)
