(A) If tan θ=24/7, then find the value of sin θ+ cos θ.
(A)
If $\displaystyle \tan \theta=\frac{24}{7}$, then find the value of $\displaystyle \sin \theta+\cos \theta$.
OR
(B)
If $\displaystyle \cot \theta=\frac{7}{8}$, then find the value of $\displaystyle \frac{(1+\sin \theta)(1-\sin \theta)}{(1+\cos \theta)(1-\cos \theta)}$.
Marking-scheme solution
(A)
\[\begin{aligned}
& \tan \theta=\frac{24}{7}=\frac{P}{B} \\
& \text { Getting, } \sin \theta=\frac{24}{25} \text { and } \cos \theta=\frac{7}{25} \\
& \begin{aligned}
\therefore \sin \theta+\cos \theta & =\frac{24}{25}+\frac{7}{25} \\
& =\frac{31}{25}
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}
\]
OR
(B)
\[\begin{aligned}
\frac{(1+\sin \theta)(1-\sin \theta)}{(1+\cos \theta)(1-\cos \theta)} & =\frac{1-\sin ^{2} \theta}{1-\cos ^{2} \theta} \\
& =\frac{\cos ^{2} \theta}{\sin ^{2} \theta}=\cot ^{2} \theta \\
& =\left(\frac{7}{8}\right)^{2}=\frac{49}{64}
\end{aligned}
\]
