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) =...more

Statement 1 is true
f(0) = – 1 < 0
one root lies in , one root is 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°
a = sin−1 (sin5) = 5 − 2π
and b = cos−1 (cos5) = 2π − 5
∴ a2 + b2 = (5 − 2π)2 + (2π − 5)2
= 8π2 − 40π + 50
