Question : If $\cos x=-\frac{1}{2}, x$ lies in third quadrant, then $\tan x=?$

Option 1: $\sqrt{3}$

Option 2: $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Option 3: $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt{3}$


Solution : Given:
$\cos x=-\frac{1}{2}, x$ lies in third quadrant.
$\sin^2x=1-\cos^2x=1-(-\frac{1}{2})^2=\frac{3}{4}$
⇒ $\sin x= \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
As $x$ is in the 3rd quadrant therefore $\sin x=- \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$\therefore \tan x=\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}=\frac{- \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{-\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt{3}$.

Given HCF = 3 and LCM = 54
⇒ $x × y = 3 × 54$
Also, $x + y = 18$
Now to calculate, $\frac{1}{x} +
