Question:

If $4(cosec^2 57 - \tan^2 33) - \cos 90 + y * \tan^2 66 * \tan^2 24 = \frac{y}{2}$, then the value of y is:

Options:

4

-4

8

-8

Correct Answer:

-8

Explanation:

We are given that,

4 ( cosec²57º - tan²33º ) - cos90º - y tan²66º. tan²24º = \(\frac{y}{2}\)

{ we know, cosec²A - cot²A = 1 And tan ( 90º - A ) = cotA }

4 ( cosec²57º - cot²57º ) - cos90º - y tan²66º. cot²66º = \(\frac{y}{2}\)

4 (1) - 0 - y = \(\frac{y}{2}\)     { tanA = \(\frac{1}{cotA}\)  } 

8 = 3y

y =  \(\frac{8}{3}\)
