Answer
(i) Let A = 30° and B = 60°.
Substituting value of A and B in L.H.S. of the equation sin (A + B) = sin A + sin B, we get :
⇒ sin(A + B)
⇒ sin(30° + 60°)
⇒ sin 90°
⇒ 1.
Substituting value of A and B in R.H.S. of the equation sin (A + B) = sin A + sin B, we get :
⇒ sin A + sin B
⇒ sin 30° + sin 60°
⇒
⇒ .
Since, sin (A + B) ≠ sin A + sin B.
Hence, statement sin (A + B) = sin A + sin B is false.
(ii) Let θ be 0°, 30° and 45°.
sin 0° = 0, sin 30° = and sin 45° = .
We see that,
sin θ increases as θ increases.
Hence, the statement the value of sin θ increases as θ increases is true.
(iii) Let θ be 0°, 30° and 45°.
cos 0° = 1, cos 30° = and cos 45° = .
We see that,
cos θ decreases as θ increases.
Hence, the statement the value of cos θ increases as θ increases is false.
(iv) Let θ be 0°, 30° and 45°.
sin 0° = 0, sin 30° = and sin 45° = ,
cos 0° = 1, cos 30° = and sin 45° = ,
From above we see that,
sin θ = cos θ, only when θ = 45°.
Hence, the statement sin θ = cos θ for all values of θ is false.
(v) We know that,
cot A =
For A = 0°, sin A = 0.
∴ cot A is not defined.
Hence, the statement cot A is not defined for A = 0° is true.
