Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Given: cot A + cosec A = 3, and A is an acute angle.
Step 1: Express cot A and cosec A in terms of sin A:
cot A = \frac{\cos A}{\sin A}, \quad \csc A = \frac{1}{\sin A}
Step 2: Use identity \cos A = \sqrt{1 - \sin^2 A} (since A is acute, cos A > 0).
Substitute into the equation:
\frac{\sqrt{1 - \sin^2 A}}{\sin A} + \frac{1}{\sin A} = 3
Step 3: Let x = sin A. Then:
\frac{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}{x} + \frac{1}{x} = 3
Multiply both sides by x:
\sqrt{1 - x^2} + 1 = 3x
Step 4: Isolate the square root:
\sqrt{1 - x^2} = 3x - 1
Step 5: Square both sides:
1 - x^2 = (3x - 1)^2 = 9x^2 - 6x + 1
Step 6: Simplify:
1 - x^2 = 9x^2 - 6x + 1
Bring all terms to one side:
-x^2 - 9x^2 + 6x + 1 - 1 = 0
-10x^2 + 6x = 0
Factor:
2x(-5x + 3) = 0
Solutions: x = 0 or x = 3/5
Step 7: Check validity:
x = 0: sin A = 0 → A = 0°, but cot A and cosec A are undefined. Invalid.
x = 3/5: sin A = 3/5 → check in original equation:
cos A = \sqrt{1 - (3/5)^2} = \sqrt{1 - 9/25} = \sqrt{16/25} = 4/5
cot A = (4/5)/(3/5) = 4/3, cosec A = 5/3
cot A + cosec A = 4/3 + 5/3 = 9/3 = 3. Valid.
Thus, sin A = 3/5.
हिन्दी उत्तर:
दिया गया है: cot A + cosec A = 3, और A एक न्यून कोण है।
चरण 1: cot A और cosec A को sin A के रूप में व्यक्त करें:
cot A = \frac{\cos A}{\sin A}, \quad \csc A = \frac{1}{\sin A}
चरण 2: पहचान का उपयोग करें \cos A = \sqrt{1 - \sin^2 A} (क्योंकि A न्यून कोण है, cos A > 0)।
समीकरण में प्रतिस्थापित करें:
\frac{\sqrt{1 - \sin^2 A}}{\sin A} + \frac{1}{\sin A} = 3
चरण 3: मान लें x = sin A। तब:
\frac{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}{x} + \frac{1}{x} = 3
दोनों तरफ x से गुणा करें:
\sqrt{1 - x^2} + 1 = 3x
चरण 4: वर्गमूल को अलग करें:
\sqrt{1 - x^2} = 3x - 1
चरण 5: दोनों तरफ वर्ग करें:
1 - x^2 = (3x - 1)^2 = 9x^2 - 6x + 1
चरण 6: सरल करें:
1 - x^2 = 9x^2 - 6x + 1
सभी पदों को एक तरफ लाएँ:
-x^2 - 9x^2 + 6x + 1 - 1 = 0
-10x^2 + 6x = 0
गुणनखंड करें:
2x(-5x + 3) = 0
समाधान: x = 0 या x = 3/5
चरण 7: वैधता की जाँच करें:
x = 0: sin A = 0 → A = 0°, लेकिन cot A और cosec A परिभाषित नहीं हैं। अवैध।
x = 3/5: sin A = 3/5 → मूल समीकरण में जाँच करें:
cos A = \sqrt{1 - (3/5)^2} = \sqrt{1 - 9/25} = \sqrt{16/25} = 4/5
cot A = (4/5)/(3/5) = 4/3, cosec A = 5/3
cot A + cosec A = 4/3 + 5/3 = 9/3 = 3. वैध।
इसलिए, sin A = 3/5।
