sin A = cos A and tan2 A + cot2 A + 2

Statement (1): A = 45°

tan2 A + cot2 A + 2 = 4

Statement (2): sin A = cos A ⇒ A = 45°

  1. Both the statement are true.

  2. Both the statement are false.

  3. Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.

  4. Statement 1 is false, and statement 2 is true.

Answer

Given, sin A = cos A

sin Acos A\dfrac{\text{sin A}}{\text{cos A}} = 1

⇒ tan A = 1

⇒ tan A = tan 45°

⇒ A = 45°

So, statement 2 is true.

Substituting value of A in tan2 A + cot2 A + 2, we get :

⇒ tan2 A + cot2 A + 2 = tan2 45° + cot2 45° + 2

= (1)2 + (1)2 + 2

= 1 + 1 + 2

= 4.

So, statement 1 is true.

∴ Both the statements are true.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
