    Correct Option - 4


    Detailed Solution:

    Given the equation 15 sin? + 10 cos? = 6.
    Divide by cos? : 15 tan? + 10 = 6 sec?
    Using sec²? = 1 + tan²? , we get sec? = (1 + tan²? )² = 1 + 2tan²? + tan?
    15 tan? + 10 = 6 (1 + 2tan²? + tan? ).
    15 tan? + 10 = 6 + 12tan²? + 6tan?
    9 tan? - 12 tan²? + 4 = 0.
    This is a quadratic in tan²? : (3 tan²? - 2)² = 0.
    ? 3 tan²? = 2? tan²? = 2/3.
    From this, we find sin²? and cos²? If tan²? = 2/3, then sin²? = 2/5 and cos²? = 3/5.
    Also, sec²? = 1 + tan²? = 5/3 and cosec²? = 1 + cot²? = 1 + 3/2 = 5/2.
    The expression to evaluate is 27 sec? + 8 cosec? = 27 (sec²? )³ + 8 (cosec²? )³.
    = 27 (5/3)³ + 8 (5/2)³ = 27 (125/27) + 8 (125/8) =

16cos2θ + 25sin2θ + 40sinθ cosθ = 1

16 + 9sin2θ + 20sin 2θ = 1

9 2 c o s 2 θ + 2 0 s i n 2 θ = 3 9 2            

– 9cos 2θ + 40sin 2θ = – 39

9 ( 1 t a n 2 θ 1 + t a n 2 θ ) + 4 0 ( 2 t a n θ 1 + t a n 2 θ ) = 3 9            

48tan2θ + 80tanθ + 30 = 0

24tan2θ + 40tanθ + 15 = 0

  t a n θ = 4 0 ± ( 4 0 ) 2 1 5 × 2 4 × 4 2 × 2 4        

  t a n θ = 4 0 ± 1 6 0 2 × 2 4

-> t a n θ = 1 0 1 0 1 2 , t a n θ = 1 0 1 0 1 2  

So t a n θ = 1 0 1 0 1 2  will be rejected as θ ( π 2 , π 2 )

12x =

  3 x = π 4

c o s 3 x = 1 2

4 c o s 3 x 3 c o s x = 1 2

4 2 c o s 3 x 3 2 c o s x 1 = 0            

x = π 1 2 is the solution of above equation.

Statement 1 is true

f ( x ) = 4 2 x 3 3 2 x 1

f ' ( x ) = 1 2 2 x 2 3 2 = 0

x = ± 1 2

f ( 1 2 ) = 1 2 + 3 2 1 = 2 1 > 0            

f(0) = – 1 < 0

one root lies in ( 1 2 , 0 ) , one root is c o s π 1 2  which is positive. As the coefficients are real, therefore all the roots must be real.

Statement 2 is false.

tan2 A = tan B tan C

It is only possible when A = B = C at x = 1

A = 30°, B = 30°, C = 30° [ t a n A = t a n B = t a n C = 1 3 ]

a = sin−1 (sin5) = 5 − 2π

and b = cos−1 (cos5) = 2π − 5

∴    a2 + b2 = (5 − 2π)2 + (2π − 5)2

= 8π2 − 40π + 50
