31)If a point P is 17cm from the center of a circle of radius 8cm, then the length of the tangent drawn to the circle from the point P is

A) 10cm

B) 12cm

C) 15cm

D) 14cm

View Answer

C) 15cm
Explanation:Given: Distance from point P to center = 17 cm, Radius of circle = 8 cm
We use the Pythagorean theorem for the right triangle formed by radius, tangent, and line from P to center.
Let tangent length = t
t^2 = 17^2 - 8^2 = 289 - 64 = 225 ⇒ t = \sqrt{225} = \boxed{15 \text{ cm}}

32)If cos A= \frac45, then the value of tan A is

A) \frac35

B) \frac34

C) \frac43

D) \frac53

View Answer

B) \frac34
Explanation:Given: \cos A = \frac{4}{5}
Use identity: \sin^2 A + \cos^2 A = 1 ⇒ \sin A = \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^2} = \frac{3}{5}
\tan A = \frac{\sin A}{\cos A} = \frac{3/5}{4/5} = \boxed{\frac{3}{4}}

33)The value of \frac{cot45^\circ}{\sin\left(30^\circ\right)+\cos\left(60^\circ\right)} is equal to

A) 1

B) \frac1{\sqrt2}

C) \frac23

D) \frac12

View Answer

A) 1
Explanation:
\cot 45^\circ = 1, \quad \sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2}, \quad \cos 60^\circ = \frac{1}{2}
\frac{\cot 45^\circ}{\sin 30^\circ + \cos 60^\circ} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}} = \frac{1}{1} = \boxed{1}

34)The value of tan 2°. tan 4°.tan 6°…tan 88° is

A) 0

B) 1

C) 2

D) Not defined

View Answer

B) 1
Explanation:This is a known trigonometric product:
\tan 2^\circ \cdot \tan 4^\circ \cdot \tan 6^\circ \cdots \tan 88^\circ = \boxed{1}

35)If tanθ+cotθ=5, then tan2θ+cot2θ=?

A) 27

B) 25

C) 24

D) 23

View Answer

D) 23
Explanation:Given: \tan \theta + \cot \theta = 5
Use identity:
(\tan \theta + \cot \theta)^2 = \tan^2 \theta + \cot^2 \theta + 2 ⇒ 25 = \tan^2 \theta + \cot^2 \theta + 2 ⇒ \tan^2 \theta + \cot^2 \theta = 25 - 2 = \boxed{23}

36)If x=asinθ and y=btanθ, then the value of \frac{a^2}{x^2}-\frac{b^2}{y^2} is

A) 1

B) 2

C) -1

D) None of these

View Answer

A) 1
Explanation:Given: x = a \sin \theta, y = b \tan \theta
Then:
\frac{a^2}{x^2} = \frac{1}{\sin^2 \theta}, \quad \frac{b^2}{y^2} = \frac{1}{\tan^2 \theta} = \frac{\cos^2 \theta}{\sin^2 \theta} ⇒ \frac{a^2}{x^2} - \frac{b^2}{y^2} = \frac{1 - \cos^2 \theta}{\sin^2 \theta} = \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{\sin^2 \theta} = \boxed{1}

37)If secθ+tanθ=x, then tan θ=

A) \frac{x^2+1}x

B) \frac{x^2-1}x

C) \frac{x^2+1}{2x}

D) \frac{x^2-1}{2x}

View Answer

D) \frac{x^2-1}{2x}
Explanation:Given: \sec \theta + \tan \theta = x
Use identity:
(\sec \theta + \tan \theta)^2 = \sec^2 \theta + \tan^2 \theta + 2 \sec \theta \tan \theta = x^2 ⇒ 1 + \tan^2 \theta + \tan^2 \theta + 2 \tan \theta \sqrt{1 + \tan^2 \theta} = x^2
Too long—use shortcut:
From identity:
\tan \theta = \frac{x^2 - 1}{2x}

38)\frac{\sin\left(\theta\right)}{1+\cos\left(\theta\right)}=

A) \frac{1+\cos\left(\theta\right)}{\sin\left(\theta\right)}

B) \frac{1-\cos\left(\theta\right)}{\cos\left(\theta\right)}

C) \frac{1-\cos\left(\theta\right)}{\sin\left(\theta\right)}

D) \frac{1+\sin\left(\theta\right)}{\cos\left(\theta\right)}

View Answer

C) \frac{1-\cos\left(\theta\right)}{\sin\left(\theta\right)}
Explanation:Use identity:
\frac{\sin \theta}{1 + \cos \theta} = \frac{1 - \cos \theta}{\sin \theta} \quad \text{(rationalizing)}
Answer:\frac{1 - \cos \theta}{\sin \theta}

39)If the ratio of the length of a pole and its shadow is 1:√3, then the angle of elevation of the

A) 30°

B) 45°

C) 60°

D) 90°

View Answer

C) 60°
Explanation:Pole\:Shadow = 1:√3 → Use basic trigonometry:
\tan \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} ⇒ \theta = \boxed{30^\circ}

40)If two towers of heights h1 and h2 subtend angles 45° and 30° respectively at the midpoint of the line joining their feet, then the ratio of h1: h2 is

A) 1:√3

B) √3:1

C) 1:3

D) 3:1

View Answer

B) √3:1
Explanation:Use:
\tan 45^\circ = \frac{h_1}{d}, \quad \tan 30^\circ = \frac{h_2}{d} ⇒ h_1 = d, h_2 = d \cdot \tan 30^\circ = d \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} ⇒ \frac{h_1}{h_2} = \frac{d}{d/\sqrt{3}} = \boxed{\sqrt{3}:1}
