Q.

Given both θ and ϕ are acute angles and sinθ=12,cosϕ=13, then the value of θ+ϕ belongs to            [2004]

1 (π3,π2]  
2 (π2,2π3)  
3 (2π3,5π6]  
4 (5π6,π]  

Ans.

(2)

Given: sinθ=12 and θ is acute angle

∴ θ=π6

Also given, cosϕ=13 and ϕ is acute angle.

∴ 0<13<12

⇒cosπ2<cosϕ<cosπ3 or π3<ϕ<π2

∴ π3+π6<θ+ϕ<π2+π6 or π2<θ+ϕ<2π3

⇒θ+ϕ∈(π2,2π3)
