Assertion (A): If ∠A = 30°, the value of tan2 2A - sec2 2A is 1.

Reason (R): tan2 2A - sec2 2A = tan2 60° - sec2 60°
= (3)2(2)2=1(\sqrt3)^2 - (2)^2 = -1

  1. A is true, R is false.
  2. A is false, R is true.
  3. Both A and R are true.
  4. Both A and R are false.

Answer

A is false, R is true.

Explanation

Given, tan2 2A - sec2 2A

= tan2 (2 x 30°) - sec2 (2 x 30°)

= tan2 60° - sec2 60°

= (3)2(2)2(\sqrt3)^2 - (2)^2

= 3 - 4

= -1

∴ Assertion (A) is false.

From the above calculation,

tan2 2A - sec2 2A = -1

∴ Reason (R) is true.

Hence, Assertion (A) is false, Reason (R) is true.
