   Q.The value of $\sin \dfrac{31\pi}{3}$ is

   (a) $\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

   (b) $-\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

   (c) $\dfrac{1}{2}$

   (d) $\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Subtract multiples of $2\pi$ (period of sine) until the angle lies in $[0, 2\pi)$; $31\pi/3$ reduces to $\pi/3$.

   Since sine has period $2\pi = \dfrac{6\pi}{3}$, subtract multiples of $\dfrac{6\pi}{3}$ from $\dfrac{31\pi}{3}$: …

   Q.If $\tan x = \dfrac{3}{4}$, $\pi < x < \dfrac{3\pi}{2}$ then the value of $\sin \dfrac{x}{2}$ is

   (a) $-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{10}}$

   (b) $\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{10}}$

   (c) $\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{10}}$

   (d) None of these

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Find $\cos x$ from $\tan x$ (both sin, cos negative in Q3), then use the half-angle formula, choosing the sign from the quadrant of $x/2$.

   Given $\tan x = \dfrac{3}{4}$ with $\pi < x < \dfrac{3\pi}{2}$ ($x$ in the third quadrant, where both $\sin x$ and $\cos x$ are negative). Using the 3-4-5 triangle: $\sin x = -\dfrac{3}{5}$, $\cos x = -\dfrac{4}{5}$.

   Since $\pi < x < \dfrac{3\pi}{2}$, dividing by 2: $\dfrac{\pi}{2} < \dfrac{x}{2} < \dfrac{3\pi}{4}$ — so $x/2$ lies in the second quadrant, where sine is positive.

   Q.Which one of the following is the value of $\tan \frac{19\pi}{3}$?

   (a) $\sqrt{3}$

   (b) $-\sqrt{3}$

   (c) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

   (d) $-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   $\tan\frac{19\pi}{3} = \sqrt{3}$, option (a).

   Since $\tan\theta$ has period $\pi$, we can subtract integer multiples of $\pi$ from the angle without changing its value.

   $\frac{19\pi}{3} - 6\pi = \frac{19\pi}{3} - \frac{18\pi}{3} = \frac{\pi}{3}$ …

   Q.If tan x = -5/12 and x lies in 2nd quadrant, then the value of sin x is:

   (a) 5/13

   (b) 12/13

   (c) -5/13

   (d) -12/13

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   In the 2nd quadrant sine is positive; using the 5-12-13 right triangle from tan x = -5/12 gives sin x = 5/13.

   Given $\tan x = -\dfrac{5}{12}$ with $x$ in the 2nd quadrant.

   In the 2nd quadrant: $\sin x > 0$, $\cos x < 0$, and $\tan x = \dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x} < 0$ — consistent with the given negative value.

   Treat $5$ and $12$ as the magnitudes of the opposite and adjacent sides; the hypotenuse is $\sqrt{5^2+12^2} = \sqrt{25+144} = \sqrt{169} = 13$.

   Q.Assertion (A): The function $\sin x$ is negative in the third and fourth quadrant. Reason (R): The function $\sin x$ is decreasing in the interval $0 \le x \le \dfrac{\pi}{2}$.

   (a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

   (b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

   (c) Assertion (A) is correct, but Reason (R) is incorrect.

   (d) Assertion (A) is incorrect, but Reason (R) is correct.

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false — $\sin x$ increases, not decreases, on $[0,\pi/2]$ — so (R) cannot even be a valid explanation of (A).

   Checking Assertion (A): In the third quadrant ($\pi < x < \tfrac{3\pi}{2}$) and fourth quadrant ($\tfrac{3\pi}{2} < x < 2\pi$), the value of $\sin x$ is indeed negative (sine is positive only in the first and second quadrants). So (A) is TRUE.

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Sine is an odd function: $\sin(-x)=-\sin x$ for all $x$.

   This follows directly from the standard trigonometric identity for negative angles, provable from the unit-circle definition: reflecting the angle across the x-axis flips the sign of the y-coordi …

   By the co-function identity, $\cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-x\right)=\sin x$.

   This is a standard complementary-angle identity: the cosine of $90^\circ$ (i.e. $\tfrac{\pi}{2}$) minus an angle equals the sine of that angle, following from the right-trian …

   Q.Find the value of the $\sin\left(-\frac{11\pi}{3}\right)$.

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   $-\tfrac{11\pi}{3}+4\pi=\tfrac{\pi}{3}$, so the value is $\sin\tfrac{\pi}{3}=\tfrac{\sqrt3}{2}$.

   Using periodicity $\sin\theta=\sin(\theta+2\pi k)$:

   $-\frac{11\pi}{3}+4\pi=-\frac{11\pi}{3}+\frac{12\pi}{3}=\frac{\pi}{3}.$ …
