Answer
(i) Solving,
⇒ 2 sin2 A - sin A = 0
⇒ sin A(2 sin A - ) = 0
⇒ sin A = 0 or 2 sin A - = 0
⇒ sin A = sin 0° or 2 sin A =
⇒ A = 0° or sin A =
⇒ A = 0° or sin A = sin 60°
⇒ A = 0° or A = 60°.
Since, 0 < ∠A < 90°
Hence, A = 60°.
(ii) Solving,
⇒ 2 cos 2B - 1 = 0
⇒ 2 cos 2B = 1
⇒ cos 2B =
⇒ cos 2B = cos 60°
⇒ 2B = 60°
⇒ B = = 30°.
Hence, B = 30°.
(iii) Substituting values of A and B in cot(A + B), we get :
⇒ cot(60° + 30°)
⇒ cot 90°
⇒ 0.
Hence, cot(A + B) = 0.
