SSC CGL 2020 PYQ — Question 63

SSC CGL - 4th March 2020 Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q63

The value of [tan2θ - sin2θ]/[2 + tan2θ + cot2θ] is :

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e sin6θ

[tan2θ - sin2θ]/[2 + tan2θ + cot2θ] 

= [sin2θ (1/cos2θ - 1)]/[2 + tan2θ + cot2θ]

= [sin2θ(sec2θ - 1)]/[2 + tan2θ + cot2θ]

= (sin2θ.tan2θ)/(tanθ + cotθ)2

= sin2θ.tan2θ/(1/sin2θ.cos2θ)

 = sin6θ
