5. Answer: (a)sin$$^2$$A

Explanation: We know, by trigonometry identities,

sin$$^2$$A+cos$$^2$$A = 1

1-cos$$^2$$A = sin$$^2$$A

Explanation: By trigonometry identities.

Sin (90°-A) = cos A [comes in the first quadrant of unit circle]

7. Answer: (d) sec x = cosec y

10. Answer: (c) trigonometric ratios of the angles

Explanation: cos (α + β) = 0 = cos 90°
⇒ α + β = 90°
sin (α – β) = sin (α – β + β – β)
= sin (α + β – 2β)
= sin (90° – 2β) = cos 2β

Explanation: cos 9α = sin α
⇒ cos 9α = cos (90° – α)
⇒ 9α = 90° – α
⇒ 10α = 90°
⇒ α = 9°
∴ tan 5α = tan 5 × 9°
= tan 45° = 1

Explaination: sin (45° + θ) – cos (45° – θ)

= sin {90° – (45° – θ)} – cos (45° – θ)
= cos (45° – θ) – cos (45° – θ) = 0

14. Answer: (a) tan$$^2$$θ

Explanation: From trigonometric identity

1+ tan$$^2$$θ = sec$$^2$$θ

⇒sec$$^2$$θ – 1 = tan$$^2$$θ

Explanation: Since from trigonometric identities,

cos(90° – θ) = sin θ

So, both represents the same value.

Explanation: Since

cosec (75° + θ) – sec (15° – θ) – tan (55° + θ) + cot (35° – θ)

= cosec (75° + θ) – cosec [90° – (15° – θ)] – tan (55° + θ) + tan [90° – (35° – θ)]

= cosec (75° + θ) – cosec (75° + θ) – tan (55° + θ) + tan (55° + θ)

= 0

17. Answer: (c) 65° and 25°
