 PREFACE
“Triumph Mathematics” is a complete and thorough guide to prepare students for MHT-CET examination. This
book is based on the MHT-CET syllabus which includes topics based on Std. XII Sc. and relevant chapters of Std.
XI Sc. (Maharashtra State Board)

T
Formulae that form a key part for solving MCQs have been provided in each chapter. Shortcuts for easy and less
tedious solving are also included.

N
MCQs in each chapter are divided into three sections:
Classical Thinking: consisting of straight forward questions including knowledge based questions.

TE
Critical Thinking: consisting of questions that require some understanding of the concept.

Competitive Thinking: consisting of questions from various competitive examinations like MHT- CET, JEE (Main),
Assam CEE, KEAM, Karnataka CET, TS EAMCET, AP EAMCET, Gujrat CET etc.
An Evaluation Test has been provided at the end of each chapter and two Model Question Papers

N
(as per MHT-CET pattern) to assess the level of preparation of the student on a competitive level.
Hints have been provided in downloadable format to relevant MCQs which are broken down to the
simplest form possible.
O
The journey to create a complete book is strewn with triumphs, failures and near misses. If you think
C
we’ve nearly missed something or want to applaud us for our triumphs, we’d love to hear from you.

ii. Standard inequalities of trigonometric functions:
a.  1  sin   1 b.  1  cos   1
c. sec    1 or sec   1 d. cosec   1 or cosec   1

iii. Periodicity of trigonometric (circular) functions:

A function is periodic if its value repeats after every fixed interval. The fixed interval is called period.

T
f(x) = f(x + n), for all x and x + n in domain of f, and n  0
a. sin ( + 2n) = sin , cos ( + 2n) = cos , where n  I

N
Hence sin and cos are periodic functions and the period is 2.
b. tan ( + n) = tan , cot ( + n) = cot , where n  I

TE
Hence tan and cot are periodic functions and the period is .

7. Trigonometric functions of negative angle:

i. sin () =  sin  ii. cos () = cos 
iii. tan() =  tan  iv. cot () =  cot 
v. sec () = sec  vi. cosec () =  cosec 

PL

  cos 1 = cos 2 = ….. = cos n = 1

5. i. sin  + cosec  = 2  sin  = 1

ii. sin  + cosec  =  2  sin  =  1

6. i. cos  + sec  = 2  cos  = 1

10. sin2  + cosec2  ≥ 2, cos2  + sec2  ≥ 2 and sec2  + cosec2  ≥ 4

11. If sec  + tan  = m, m > 1, then  lies in the first quadrant.
If sec  + tan  = m, 0 < m < 1, then  lies in the fourth quadrant.
If sec  + tan  = m, m < 1, then  lies in the second quadrant.
If sec  + tan  = m, 1 < m < 0, then  lies in the third quadrant.
