\(=1+{ cot }^{ 2 }\theta +{ cot }^{ 2 }\theta +2{ cosec }^{ 2 }\theta cos\theta \)
\(=1+2{ cot }^{ 2 }\theta +2{ cosec }^{ 2 }\theta cos\theta =RHS\)

\(\\ =\cos { \theta } \sin { \theta } -\sin { \theta } \cos { \theta } (\sin ^{ 2 }{ \theta } +\cos ^{ 2 }{ \theta } )+\sec { \theta } \)
5.
We have, \(\frac { \sec ^{ 2 }{ (\sin { { 90 }^{ 0 } } -\theta ) } -\cot ^{ 2 }{ \theta } }{ 2(\sin ^{ 2 }{ { 25 }^{ 0 } } +\sin ^{ 2 }{ { 65 }^{ 0 } } ) } +\frac { 2\cos ^{ 2 }{ { 60 }^{ 0 } } \tan ^{ 2 }{ { 28 }^{ 0 } } \tan ^{ 2 }{ { 62 }^{ 0 } } }{ \sin ^{ 2 }{ { 30 }^{ 0 } } \cos ^{ 2 }{ { 60 }^{ 0 } } } \)

\(\left[ \because \sin { ({ 90 }^{ 0 }-\theta ) } =\cos { \theta } ,cosec({ 90 }^{ 0 }-\theta )=\sec { \theta } ,\tan { ({ 90 }^{ 0 }-\theta ) } =\cot { \theta } \right] \)
\(=2-\frac { 2.1 }{ 2.1 } =2-2=0\)
7.
We have, sec 5A = cosec (A + 300)
\(\Rightarrow\) sec 5A = sec[900- (A + 300)] \([\because sec({ 90 }^{ 0 }-\theta )=cosec\theta ]\)
\(\Rightarrow\) sec 5A = sec(600 - A)
\(\Rightarrow\) 5A = 600 - A [\(\therefore\) 5A and (600- A) are acute angles]
\(\Rightarrow\) 6A = 600
\(\therefore\) A = 100
8.
Given, sin 3A = cos (A - 260) ...(i)
where, 3A is an acute angle.
We know that, \(\sin { \theta } =\cos { ({ 90 }^{ 0 }-\theta ) } \)
From Eq. (i), \(\cos { ({ 90 }^{ 0 }-3A) } =\cos { ({ A-26 }^{ 0 }) } \)
Since, (900 - 3A) and (A - 260) both are acute angles.
900 - 3A = A - 260
\(\Rightarrow\) 4A = 1160 \(\Rightarrow A=\frac { { 116 }^{ 0 } }{ 4 } ={ 29 }^{ 0 }\)
9.
Given expression
\(\frac { \tan { { 50 }^{ 0 } } +\sec { { 50 }^{ 0 } } }{ \cot { { 40 }^{ 0 } } +cosec{ 40 }^{ 0 } } +\cos { { 40 }^{ 0 } } cosec{ 50 }^{ 0 }\)
\(=\frac { \tan { { 50 }^{ 0 } } +\sec { { 50 }^{ 0 } } }{ \cot { { (90 }^{ 0 }-{ 50 }^{ 0 }) } +cosec{ (90 }^{ 0 }-{ 50 }^{ 0 }) } +\cos { { 40 }^{ 0 } } cosec { { (90 }^{ 0 }-{ 40 }^{ 0 }) } \)
\(=\frac { \tan { { 50 }^{ 0 } } +\sec { { 50 }^{ 0 } } }{ \tan { { 50 }^{ 0 } } +\sec { { 50 }^{ 0 } } } +\cos { { 40 }^{ 0 } } sec{ 40 }^{ 0 }\) \(\left[ \because \cot { ({ 90 }^{ 0 }-\theta ) } =\tan { \theta } ,\quad cosec({ 90 }^{ 0 }-\theta )=\sec { \theta } \right] \)
= (1 + 1) = 2
10.
We have, sin (A + 2B) = \(\frac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 2 } \)=600 \(\left[ \because \sin { { 60 }^{ 0 } } =\frac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 2 } \right] \)
\( \Rightarrow\) A + 2B = 600 ....(i)
Again, cos (A + 4B) =00 = cos 900 [cos 900 = 0]
\( \Rightarrow\) A + 4B = 900 ....(ii)
On subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii), we get
A + 4B = 900
A+2B = 600
2B = 300
\(\Rightarrow \ B=\frac { { 30 }^{ 0 } }{ 2 } ={ 15 }^{ 0 }\)
On substituting B = 150 in Eq. (i), we get
A + 2 x 150=600 \(\Rightarrow\) A+300 = 600
\( \Rightarrow\) A = 60 0- 300 = 300
Hence, A = 300 and B = 150
11.
We have tan (3x+300)=1
\(\Rightarrow\) tan (3x + 300)=tan 450 [\(\because\)tan 450 = 1]
\(\Rightarrow\)3x + 300 = 450
\(\Rightarrow\)3x = 450 - 300 = 150 \(\Rightarrow\) x = 50
12.
since, sin (A - B) = \(\frac{1}{2}\), therefore, A - B = 30° (1)
Also, since cos (A + B) = \(\frac{1}{2}\), therefore, A + B = 60° (2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get : A = 45° and B = 15°.
13.
We have, \(2\cos { 3\theta } =\sqrt { 3 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \cos { 3\theta } =\frac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 2 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \cos { 3\theta } =\cos { { 30 }^{ 0 } } \) \(\left[ \because \cos { { 30 }^{ 0 } } =\frac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 2 } \right] \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad 3\theta ={ 30 }^{ 0 },\) as 3\(\theta\) and 300 are are acute angles.
\(\therefore \quad \theta ={ 10 }^{ 0 }\)
14.
We have, \(\frac { \cos { { 60 }^{ 0 } } +\sin { { 45 }^{ 0 } } -\cot { { 30 }^{ 0 } } }{ \tan { { 60 }^{ 0 } } +\sec { { 45 }^{ 0 } } -cosec{ 30 }^{ 0 } } \)
\(=\frac { \frac { 1 }{ 2 } +\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } -\sqrt { 3 } }{ \sqrt { 3 } +\sqrt { 2 } -2 } =\frac { \frac { \sqrt { 2 } +2-2\sqrt { 2 } \times \sqrt { 3 } }{ 2\sqrt { 2 } } }{ \sqrt { 3 } +\sqrt { 2 } -2 } \)
\([ \because \cos { { 60 }^{ 0 } } =1/2,\sin { { 45 }^{ 0 } } =1/\sqrt { 2 } ,\cot { { 30 }^{ 0 } } =\sqrt { 3 }\)
\( \tan { { 60 }^{ 0 } } =\sqrt { 3 } ,\sec { { 45 }^{ 0 } } =\sqrt { 2 } \quad and\quad cosec{ 30 }^{ 0 }=2 ] \)
\(=\frac { \sqrt { 2 } +2-2\sqrt { 6 } }{ 2\sqrt { 2 } (\sqrt { 3 } +\sqrt { 2 } -2) } \)
\(=\frac { \sqrt { 2 } +2-2\sqrt { 6 } }{ 2\sqrt { 6 } +2\sqrt { 2 } \times \sqrt { 2 } -2\sqrt { 2 } \times 2 } =\frac { \sqrt { 2 } +2-2\sqrt { 6 } }{ 2\sqrt { 6 } +4-4\sqrt { 2 } } \)
15.
We have, cos2300 + sin2450 -\(\frac {1}{3}\) tan2600
= (cos 300)2 + (sin 450)2 -\(\frac {1}{3}\) tan2600
\(={ \left( \frac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 2 }+\left( \frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } \right) ^{ 2 }-\frac { 1 }{ 3 } { \left( \sqrt { 3 } \right) }^{ 2 }\) \(\left[ \therefore \cos { { 30 }^{ 0 } } =\frac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 2 } ,\sin { { 45 }^{ 0 } } =\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } \quad and\quad \tan { { 60 }^{ 0 } } =\sqrt { 3 } \right] \)
\(=\frac { 3 }{ 2 } +\frac { 1 }{ 2 } -\frac { 3 }{ 3 } =\frac { 3+2 }{ 4 } -1=\frac { 5 }{ 4 } -1=\frac { 5-4 }{ 4 } =\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \)
