Consider the following distribution of 50 workers of a factory. Find the mean daily wages of the workers of the factory by using an appropriate method.

Question : Daily Wages in Rupees 0 – 120 120 – 140 14 – 160 160 – 180 180 – 200 Number of Workers 12 14 8 6 10 Solution : Let the assumed mean A = 150 and class size h = 50 So, \(u_i\) = \(x_i – A\over h\) = \(x_i – 150\over …

Write the other trigonometric ratios of A in terms of sec A.

Solution : Consider a triangle ABC, in which \(\angle\) B = 90 For \(\angle\) A, we have : Base = AB, Perp = BC and Hyp = AC \(\therefore\)    sec A = \(Hyp\over Base\) = \(AC\over AB\) So,  \(AC\over AB\)  = sec A = \(sec A\over 1\) Let AB = k and AC = …

Express the trigonometric ratios sin A, sec A, and tan A in terms of cot A.

Solution : We know that   \(cosec^2 A\) = 1 + \(cot^2 A\) \(\implies\)   \(1\over sin^2 A\) = 1 + \(cot^2 A\)   \(\implies\)  \(sin^2 A\) = \(1\over 1 + cot^2 A\) \(\implies\)  sin A = \(1\over \sqrt{1 + cot^2 A}\) Also,  we know that  \(sec^2 A\) = 1 + \(tan^2 A\) \(\implies\)  \(sec^2 A\) = 1 …

Express sin 67 + cos 75 in terms of trigonometric ratios of angles between 0 and 45.

Solution : We have, sin 67 + cos 75 = sin(90 – 23) + cos(90 – 15) = cos 23 + sin 15

If A, B and C are the interior angles of a triangle ABC, show that sin\(B+C\over 2\) = cos\(A\over 2\).

Solution : Since A, B and C are the interior angles of a triangle ABC \(\therefore\)   A + B + C = 180 \(\implies\)  \(A\over 2\) + \(B\over 2\) + \(C\over 2\) = 90 \(\implies\)  \(B\over 2\) + \(C\over 2\) = 90 – \(A\over 2\) \(\implies\)  sin(\(B+C\over 2\)) = sin(90 – \(A\over 2\)) \(\implies\)   sin\(B+C\over …
