(A) Evaluate (5 cos^2 60^°+4 sec^2 30^°- tan^2 45^°)/(sin^2 30^°+ cos^2 30^°)
(A)
Evaluate $\displaystyle \frac{5 \cos ^{2} 60^{\circ}+4 \sec ^{2} 30^{\circ}-\tan ^{2} 45^{\circ}}{\sin ^{2} 30^{\circ}+\cos ^{2} 30^{\circ}}$
OR
(B)
If A and B are acute angles such that $\displaystyle \sin (\mathrm{A}-\mathrm{B})=0$ and $\displaystyle 2 \cos (\mathrm{~A}+\mathrm{B})-1=0$, then find angles A and B .
Marking-scheme solution
(A)
\[\begin{gathered}
\frac{5 \cos ^{2} 60^{\circ}+4 \sec ^{2} 30^{\circ}-\tan ^{2} 45^{\circ}}{\sin ^{2} 30^{\circ}+\cos ^{2} 30^{\circ}} \\
=\frac{5(1 / 2)^{2}+4(2 / \sqrt{3})^{2}-(1)^{2}}{1} \\
=\frac{5 / 4+16 / 3-1}{1}=\frac{67}{12}
\end{gathered}
\]
OR
(B)
\[\begin{aligned}
& \sin (\mathrm{A}-\mathrm{B})=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{~A}-\mathrm{B}=0^{\circ} \\
& \cos (\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B})=\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \mathrm{~A}+\mathrm{B}=60^{\circ} \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{A}=30^{\circ}, \mathrm{B}=30^{\circ}
\end{aligned}
\]
