SSC CGL - 6th March 2020 Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q71

If x CosA - y SinA = 1 and x SinA + y CosA = 4, then the value of 17x2 + 17y2 is :

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e 289

Explanation:

x CosA - y SinA = 1

Take the square of both sides,

(x CosA - y SinA)2 = 1

(x CosA)2 - 2xy SinA CosA + (y SinA)2 = 1 ------(1)

(∵(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab)

x SinA + y CosA = 4

Take the square of both sides,

(x SinA + y CosA)2 = 16

(x SinA)2 + 2xy SinA CosA + (y CosA)2 = 16 ------(2)

Addition of eq(1) and eq(2),

(x CosA)2 + (x SinA)2 + (y SinA)2 + (y CosA)2 = 17

x2 + y2 = 17

17x2 + 17y2 = 17 × 17

17x2 + 17y2 = 289
