The value of \((\cos^2 67° - \sin^2 23°) + 4\cos 30°\) is:

This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2025 Graduate CBT 2 Question Paper PDF (10-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

\(2\sqrt{3}\)

Use the complementary-angle identity \(\sin\theta = \cos(90° - \theta)\).

Since \(\sin 23° = \cos(90° - 23°) = \cos 67°\), we get \(\sin^2 23° = \cos^2 67°\).

Therefore \(\cos^2 67° - \sin^2 23° = 0\).

The expression becomes \(0 + 4\cos 30° = 4 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 2\sqrt{3}\).

Hence, the value of the expression is \(2\sqrt{3}\).
