If cot⁴θ + cot²θ = 2.2, then csc⁴θ − csc²θ = ?

  3. 2.2
  4. 3.3
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. 2.2

1. Use csc²θ = 1 + cot²θ. 2. csc⁴θ − csc²θ = csc²θ(csc²θ − 1) = (1 + cot²θ)(cot²θ). 3. Expanding: cot²θ + cot⁴θ = cot⁴θ + cot²θ = 2.2. _Source: RRB Group D CEN-02/2018 PYQ, Q.10._

If sec^4(theta) - sec^2(theta) = 3, then the value of tan^4(theta) + tan^2(theta) is:

  1. 8
  2. 3
  3. 4
  4. 6
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. 3

1. Let s = sec^2(theta) = 1 + tan^2(theta). Then s^2 - s = s(s - 1) = 3. 2. Here s - 1 = tan^2(theta), so s(s-1) = (1 + tan^2)(tan^2) = tan^2 + tan^4. 3. Thus tan^4(theta) + tan^2(theta) = 3. _Source: RRB Group D CEN-02/2018 PYQ, Q.57._
