SSC CHSL - 1st July 2019 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q53

The value of (tan 13° tan 37° tan 45° tan 53° tan 77°)/[2 cosec260(cos260° - 3cos 60° + 2)] is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Correct Answer is option 1 i.e. 1/2

Concept

Understanding

Application

Fair calculation

If A + B = 90

tanA × tanB = 1

Putting the values:

Cosec 60 = 2/3

Cos 60 = ½

Tan 45 = 1

Here,

tan13 × tan 77 = 1

tan 37 × tan 53 = 1

⇒ 12 ×4314-32+2 = 12 ×43 ×34  = 1/2

 12 ×4314-32+2

⇒ 12 ×4314+12

⇒ 12 ×43 ×34  

⇒ 1/2
