30. Answer (2)

31. Answer (2)

If x > y > 0, then

32. Answer (1)

sin2 = 2p q K 2 and cos2 = 2p 2K 2 –1

pcos2 + q sin2 = 2p 3K 2 – p + 2pq2K2

= 2pk 2(p 2 + q 2)–p = p

 sinB + sinC = 2sinA

37. Answer (1)

y  cos(sin x ) and y  sin(cos x )

In (0, 1) cos(sin x )  sin(cos x )

  cot x  cot y  cot z  

 cot2x + cot2y + cot2z 

But a sin B  b sin A, hence roots are equal

64. Answer (3)

Let three number s – a, s – b, s – c using A.M.  G.M.

(2 tan  – 2)2 = sec2

72. Answer (4)

73. Answer (2)

sin3 + sin2 + sin  – 2 sin2 cos  – sin 2 – 2 cos  = 0

 (sin3 – 2 sin2 cos ) + (sin2 – 2 sin  cos ) + (sin  – 2 cos ) = 0

 (sin2 + sin  + 1)(sin  – 2 cos ) = 0

Since sin2 + sin  + 1  0

 sin  – 2 cos  = 0  tan  = 2

From figure, the number of solution is 1.
