Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:tan 30° = x/y ⇒ y = √3x
and tan 60° = (x+400)/y ⇒ √3y = x+400
= x + 400
Solving (i) and (ii), we get
2x = 400, x = 200
sin 30° = x/PC = 200/PC ⇒ PC = 400

Option (4) is correct.
12x =
is the solution of above equation.
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
sin 2 + tan 2 > 0
Let tan = x
