SSC CGL - 9th March 2020 Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q71

Solve the following.

(2Sin22o) / (Cos68o) - (2Cot75o) / (5tan15o) - (8tan45otan20otan40otan50otan70o) / (5)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e 0

⇒ (2Sin22o) / (Cos68o) - (2Cot75o) / (5Tan15o) - (8Tan45oTan20oTan40oTan50oTan70o) / (5)

(Sin(90o - θ) = Cosθ, Tan(90o - θ) = Cotθ)

⇒ (2Cos68o) / (Cos68o) - (2Tan15o) / (5Tan15o) - (8Tan45oCot70oCot50oTan50oTan70o) / (5)

⇒ 2 - 2/5 - 8/5

⇒ 0
