= (cos2A – sin2A) (cos2A + sin2A)
= (cos2A – sin2A) (1)
= cos2A – (1 – cos2A)

Reason : For any value of θ, sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
Ans: We know that for any value of θ, sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
So, Reason is correct.
For assertion: We have x sin3θ + y cos3θ = sinθ cosθ and x sinθ = y cosθ
x sin3 θ + y cos3 θ = sin θ cos θ
⇒ x sin θ (sin2 θ) + y cos θ (cos2 θ) = sin θ cos θ
⇒ x sin θ (sin2 θ) + x sin θ (cos2 θ) = sin θ cos θ
⇒ x sin θ (sin2 θ + cos2 θ) = sin θ cos θ ⇒ x sin θ = sin θ cos θ ⇒ x = cos θ
Now, x sin θ = y cos θ ⇒ cos θ sin θ = y cos θ ⇒ y = sin θ
Hence, x2 + y2 = cos2 θ + sin2 θ = 1
So, Assertion is also correct.
Correct option is (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and
reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).

Ans: We know that for any value of θ, 1 + tan2θ = sec2θ
So, Reason is correct.
For assertion: Let A = 300 and B = 600
LHS = sin (A + B) = sin (300 + 600)
= sin 900 = 1
RHS = sinA + sinB = = sin300 + sin600
= + =
⇒ LHS ≠ RHS
So, Assertion is not correct.
Correct option is (d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.

8. Assertion: The value of sin 60° cos 30° + sin 30° cos 60° is 1.
Reason : sin 90° = 1 and cos 90° = 0.
Ans: We know that sin 90° = 1 and cos 90° = 0.
So, Reason is correct
For Assertion, we have, sin 60° cos 30° + sin 30° cos 60°

So, Assertion is also correct.

But reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A)
Correction option is (b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R)
is not the correct explanation of assertion (A)

9. Assertion: The value of 2 tan2 45° + cos2 30° – sin2 60° is 2.
Reason : Value of tan 45° = 1, cos 30° = and sin 60° = .

Ans: We know that tan 45° = 1, cos 30° = and sin 60° = .
So, Reason is correct
For Assertion, we have, 2 tan2 45° + cos2 30° – sin2 60°

So, Assertion is also correct.

Correction option is (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R)
is the correct explanation of assertion (A)

10. Assertion : If cosA + cos2A = 1 then sin2A + sin4A = 1.
Reason : sin2A + cos2A = 1, for any value of A.
Ans: For Reason, we know that sin2A + cos2A = 1, for any value of A.
So, Reason is correct
For Assertion, we have cosA + cos2A = 1
⇒ cosA = 1 – cos2A = sin2A (∵ sin2A + cos2A = 1 ⇒ 1 – cos2A = sin2A)
Now, sin2A + sin4A
= cosA + cos2A = 1
So, Assertion is also correct
Correction option is (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R)
is the correct explanation of assertion (A)

11. Assertion : The value of + sinθcosθ is 1

Reason : sin2A + cos2A = 1, for any value of A.

Ans: For Reason, we know that sin2A + cos2A = 1, for any value of A.
So, Reason is correct
For Assertion, we have + sinθcosθ

(∵ sin2A + cos2A = 1)

So, Assertion is also correct

Correction option is (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R)
is the correct explanation of assertion (A)

12. Assertion : The value of is

Reason : cot A is not defined for A = 0°.

Ans: For Reason, we know that cot A is not defined for A = 0°.
So, Reason is correct

For Assertion, we have

So, Assertion is also correct

But reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A)
Correction option is (b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R)
is not the correct explanation of assertion (A)

13. Assertion : The value of sec A (1 – sin A)(sec A + tan A) is 1.
Reason : 1 + tan2A = sec2A, for any value of A.
Ans: For Reason, we know that 1 + tan2A = sec2A, for any value of A.
So, Reason is correct
For Assertion, we have sec A (1 – sin A)(sec A + tan A)

(∵ sin2A + cos2A = 1 ⇒ 1 – sin2A = cos2A)

So, Assertion is also correct
But reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A)
Correction option is (b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R)
is not the correct explanation of assertion (A)

13. Assertion : The value of sec A (1 – sin A)(sec A + tan A) is 1.
Reason : 1 + tan2A = sec2A, for any value of A.
Ans: For Reason, we know that 1 + tan2A = sec2A, for any value of A.
So, Reason is correct
For Assertion, we have sec A (1 – sin A)(sec A + tan A)
= (sec A – secA.sin A)(sec A + tan A)
= (sec A – tan A)(sec A + tan A)
= sec2 A – tan2 A
=1
So, Assertion is also correct
Correction option is (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R)
is the correct explanation of assertion (A)
