Question : If $a\sin\theta+b\cos\theta=c$, then $a\cos\theta-b\sin\theta$ is equal to:

Option 1: $\pm \sqrt{a+b-c}$

Option 2: $\pm \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}$

Option 3: $\pm \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}-c^{2}}$

Option 4: $\pm \sqrt{c^{2}+a^{2}-b^{2}}$

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\pm \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}-c^{2}}$


Solution : Given $a\sin\theta+b\cos\theta=c$
Squaring both sides, we get:
$(a\sin\theta+b\cos\theta)^2=c^2$
⇒ $a^2\sin^2\theta+b^2\cos^2\theta+2ab\sin\theta\cos\theta=c^2$
⇒ $a^2(1-\cos^2\theta)+b^2(1-\sin^2\theta)+2ab\sin\theta\cos\theta=c^2$
⇒ $a^2-a^2\cos^2\theta+b^2-b^2\sin^2\theta+2ab\sin\theta\cos\theta=c^2$
⇒ $-a^2\cos^2\theta-b^2\sin^2\theta+2ab\sin\theta\cos\theta=c^2-a^2-b^2$
⇒ $-(a^2\cos^2\theta+b^2\sin^2\theta-2ab\sin\theta\cos\theta)=-(-c^2+a^2+b^2)$
⇒ $(a\cos\theta-b\sin\theta)^2=(-c^2+a^2+b^2)$
⇒ $(a\cos\theta-b\sin\theta)=\pm\sqrt{a^2+b^2-c^2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\pm\sqrt{a^2+b^2-c^2}$.

Question : If $\tan \theta+\cot \theta=12$, then $\tan ^2 \theta+\cot ^2 \theta$ is:

Option 1: 66

Option 2: 128

Option 3: 142

Option 4: 132

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 142


Solution : $\tan \theta+\cot \theta=12$
Squaring on both sides,
⇒ $(\tan \theta+\cot \theta)^2=12^2$
⇒ $\tan^2 \theta+\cot^2 \theta + 2\tan \theta\cot \theta=144$
⇒ $\tan^2 \theta+\cot^2 \theta = 144-2= 142$
Hence, the correct answer is 142.
