SSC CGL - 4th March 2020 Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q59

The value of (tan30ocosec60o + tan60osec30o)/(sin230o + 4cot245o - sec260o) is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e 32/3.

Understanding/Application

= (tan300 cosec600 + tan600sec300)/(sin2300 + 4cot2450 - sec2600)

Putting the values -

= (1/3 {\sqrt{3} } × 2/3{\sqrt{3} } + 3{\sqrt{3} } × 2/3{\sqrt{3} })/(1/22 + 4 × 1 - 22)

= (2/3 + 2)/(1/4 + 4 - 4)

= (8/3)/(1/4)

= 32/3
