Maharashtra State Board 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 3 Trigonometry – II Ex 3.1

Question 1 Maharashtra Board Solution
Find the values of: i. sin 150° ü. cos 75° iii. tan 105° iv. cot 225°
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
i. sin 15° = sin (45° – 30°) = sin 45° cos 30° – cos 45° sin 30° [Note: Answer given in the textbook is However, as per our calculation it is

ii. cos 75° = cos (45° + 30°)
= cos 45° cos 30° – sin 45° sin 30°

iii. tan 105° = tan (60° +45°)

iv. cot 225°

Question 2 Maharashtra Board Solution
Perove the following: i.
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
L.H.S = -(cos x cos y – sin x sin y) = – cos (x+y) = R.H.S

ii.
L.H.S =

R.H.S.
[Note : The question has been modified.]

iii.
Solution:

iv. sin [(n+1)A]. sin [(n+2)A] + cos [(n+1)A]. cos [(n+2)A] = cos A
Solution:
L.H.S. = sin [(n + 1)A]. sin [(n + 2)A] + cos [(n + 1)A]. cos [(n + 2)A]
= cos [(n + 2)A]. cos [(n + 1)A] + sin [(n + 2)A]. sin [(n + 1)A]
Let(n+2)Aaand(n+l)Ab …(i)
∴ L.H.S. = cos a. cos b + sin a. sin b
= cos (a — b)
= cos [(n + 2)A — (n + I )A]
…[From (i)]
cos[(n+2 – n – 1)A]
= cos A
= R.H.S.

v.
Solution:

vi.
Solution:

vii. cos (x + y). cos (x – y) = cos2y – sin2x
Solution:
L.H.S. = cos(x + y). cos(x – y)
= (cos x cos y – sin x sin y). (cos x cos y + sin x sin y)
= cos2x cos2y – sin2x sin2y
…[∵ (a – b) (a + b) = a2– b2]
= (1 – sin2x) cos2y – sin2x (1 – cos2y)
…[∵ sin2e + cos20 = 1]
= cos2y – cos2y sin2x – sin2x + sin2x cos2y
= cos2y – sin2x
=R.H.S.

viii.
Solution:

ix. tan 8θ – tan 5θ – tan 3θ = tan 8θ tan 5θ tan 3θ
Solution:
Since, 8θ = 5θ + 3θ
∴ tan 8θ = tan (5θ + 3θ)
∴ tan 8θ =
∴ tan 8θ (1 – tan 5θ.tan 3θ) = tan 5θ + tan 3θ
∴ tan 8θ – tan8θ.tan5θ.tan3θ = tan5θ + tan 3θ
∴ tan 8θ – tan 5θ – tan 3θ = tan 8θ.tan 5θ.tan 3θ

x. tan 50° = tan 40° + 2tan 10°
Solution:
Since, 50° = 10° +40°
∴ tan 50° = tan (10° + 40°)

∴ tan 50° (1 – tan 10° tan 40°) = tan 10° + tan 40°
∴ tan 50° – tan 10° tan 40° tan 50° = tan 10° + tan 40°
∴ tan 50° – tan 10° tan 40° tan (90° – 40°) = tan 10° + tan 40°
∴ tan 50° – tan 10° tan 40° cot 40°
= tan 10° + tan 40° …[∵ tan (90° – θ) = cot θ]
∴ tan 50° – tan 10° tan 40°. = tan 10° + tan 40°
∴ tan 50° – tan 10°. 1 = tan 10° + tan 40°
∴ tan 50° = tan 40° + 2 tan 10°

xi. = tan 72°
Solution:

Dividing numerator and cos 27°, we get denominator by cos 27°, we get

= tan (45° + 27°)
= tan 72° = R.H.S

xii.
Solution:
Since 45° = 10° + 35°,
tan 45° = tan (10° +35°)

∴ 1 – tan 10° tan 35o = tan 10° + tan 35°
∴ tan 10° + tan 35° + tan 10° tan 35° = 1

xiii. tan 10° + tan 35° + tan 10°. tan 35° = 1
Solution:

xiv.
Solution:
Dividing numerator and cos 15°, we get

= tan (45° + 15°)
= tan 30° = = R.H.S

Question 3 Maharashtra Board Solution
If sin A = ,π < A < and cos B = < B < 2π, find i. sin (A+B) ii. cos (A-B) iii. tan (A + B)
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
Given, sin A = We know that, cos2 A = 1 – sin2A = ∴ cos A = Since, π < A < ∴ ‘A’ lies in the 3rd quadrant. ∴ cos A<0 cos A = Also,cos B = ∴ sin2B = 1 – cos2B = ∴ sin B = Since, < B < 2π ∴ ‘B’ lies in the 4th quadrant. ∴ sin B<0 Sin B =

i. sin (A + B) = sin A cos B+cos A sin B

ii. cos (A -B) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B

iii.

Question 4 Maharashtra Board Solution

Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
Given tan A = , tan B = ∴ tan (A + B) = tan ∴ A + B =
