RRB NTPC 2024 Undergraduate CBT 1 Question Paper (29-Aug-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

\(13\over12\)

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. \(13\over12\).

4 sin2 θ = 1

⇒ sin2θ = 1/4

⇒ sinθ = 1/2 = P/H

By Pythagoras' theorem,

⇒ H2 = B2 + P2

here, H  = Hypotaneous, B = Base, P = Perpendicular

⇒ B2 = 22 - 12

⇒ B2 = 4 - 1

⇒ B = \(\sqrt3\)

The value of cos2θ + tan2θ

⇒ (\(\sqrt3\)/2)2 + (1/\(\sqrt3\))2

⇒ 3/4 + 1/3

⇒ (9 + 4)/12 = \(13\over12\)
