Consider the following two statements: Statement I: \(\frac{\cot 30^{\circ}+1}{\cot 30^{\circ}-1}=2\left(\cos 30^{\circ}+1\right)\) Statement II : \(2 \sin 45^{\circ} \cos 45^{\circ}-\tan 45^{\circ}…

Question and options

Consider the following two statements:

Statement I: cot⁡30∘+1cot⁡30∘−1=2(cos⁡30∘+1)\frac{\cot 30^{\circ}+1}{\cot 30^{\circ}-1}=2\left(\cos 30^{\circ}+1\right)

Statement II : 2sin⁡45∘cos⁡45∘−tan⁡45∘cot⁡45∘=02 \sin 45^{\circ} \cos 45^{\circ}-\tan 45^{\circ} \cot 45^{\circ}=0

Which of the following is correct?
  1. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. Neither Statement I nor Statement II is true
  3. Only Statement I is true
  4. Only Statement II is true

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - Both Statement I and Statement II are true
I: (sqrt3+1)/(sqrt3-1) = (sqrt3+1)^2/2 = 2+sqrt3, and 2(cos30+1) = sqrt3+2, so I is true. II: 2 x (1/sqrt2)(1/sqrt2) - 1x1 = 1-1 = 0, so II is true.
