Trigonometrical Ratios and Identities 1 Question 10

10. Given both θ and φ are acute angles and sinθ=12,cosφ=13, then the value of θ+φ belongs to

(2004, 1M)

(a) π3,π6

(b) π2,2π3

(c) 2π3,5π6

(d) 5π6,π

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 10. (b)

Solution:

  1. Since, sinθ=12

and cosφ=13θ=π6 and 0<cosφ=13<12 as 0<13<12

θ=π6 and cos1(0)>φ>cos112

the sign changed as cosx is decreasing between 0,π2

θ=π6 and π3<φ<π2π2<θ+φ<2π3θπ2,2π3
