Solution:(Correct Answer:D) Similarly, sin 45o = √12 or sin2 45o = 12
(d) −2π < α − β < 2π and the angles are in A.P. of 18 terms.
cos(α − β) = 1 We also know that sin2 85o = [sin(90o − 5o )]2 = cos2 5o .
== > α − β = 0 Therefore from the complementary rule, we find

= 0. (d) Given that ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.

So A + C = 180◦ ⇒ A = 180◦ − C
(194) If tan A + cot A = 4, then tan4 A + cot4 A is equal to ⇒ cos A = cos(180◦ − C) = − cos C
