### Step 1: Assertion 1
- Given $\sin X + \cos Y = 1$, $X=30^\circ$, $Y$ acute.
- Calculate $\sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2}$.
- Then $\cos Y = 1 - \sin 30^\circ = 1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$.
- Since $\cos Y = \frac{1}{2}$ and $Y$ acute, $Y = 60^\circ$.
### Step 2: Assertion 2
- $\sin \theta$ ranges between $-1$ and $1$.
- $\sin \theta = \frac{4}{3} > 1$ is impossible.
- Reason: Hypotenuse is longest side, so sine (opposite/hypotenuse) cannot exceed 1.
### Step 3: Assertion 3
- Calculate $\sin 45^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$, $\cos 45^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$, $\sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2}$.
- Compute $\sin 45^\circ \cdot \cos 45^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$.
- Sum: $\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 1$.
- So $\tan \theta = 1$ implies $\theta = 45^\circ$.
### Step 4: Assertion 4
- In $\triangle ABC$, $\angle A + \angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ$.
- If right angled at $C$, $\angle C = 90^\circ$.
- Then $\angle A + \angle B = 90^\circ$.
- $\cos (A + B) = \cos 90^\circ = 0$.
### Step 5: Assertion 5
- $\sin 45^\circ = \cos 45^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ is true.
- But $\sin x = \cos x$ is not true for all $x$, only when $x = 45^\circ + k \times 180^\circ$.
### Step 6: Prove $\sec^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta - 2 \tan^2 \theta = 1$
- Recall identities:
- $\sec^2 \theta = 1 + \tan^2 \theta$
- $\tan^2 \theta = \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta}$
- Substitute:
$$\sec^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta - 2 \tan^2 \theta = (1 + \tan^2 \theta) - \sin^2 \theta - 2 \tan^2 \theta = 1 - \sin^2 \theta - \tan^2 \theta$$
- Write $\tan^2 \theta = \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta}$:
$$1 - \sin^2 \theta - \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta} = 1 - \sin^2 \theta \left(1 + \frac{1}{\cos^2 \theta}\right) = 1 - \sin^2 \theta \frac{\cos^2 \theta + 1}{\cos^2 \theta}$$
- Since $\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta = 1$, so $\cos^2 \theta + 1 = 1 + \cos^2 \theta$ (no direct simplification), but let's rewrite:
$$= 1 - \sin^2 \theta \frac{1 + \cos^2 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta}$$
- This expression is not identically 1 for all $\theta$, so the original identity is false unless there's a typo.
### Step 7: Height of hill
- Let height be $h$.
- Let distances to stones be $d$ and $d+1$ km.
- Angles of depression: $30^\circ$ and $45^\circ$.
- From top, angle of depression equals angle of elevation from stones.
- For stone at $d$ km:
$$\tan 30^\circ = \frac{h}{d} \Rightarrow h = d \tan 30^\circ = d \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$$
- For stone at $d+1$ km:
$$\tan 45^\circ = \frac{h}{d+1} = 1 \Rightarrow h = d + 1$$
- Equate:
$$d \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = d + 1$$
- Multiply both sides by $\sqrt{3}$:
$$d = (d + 1) \sqrt{3}$$
- Rearrange:
$$d - d \sqrt{3} = \sqrt{3}$$
$$d(1 - \sqrt{3}) = \sqrt{3}$$
$$d = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{1 - \sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}(1 + \sqrt{3})}{(1 - \sqrt{3})(1 + \sqrt{3})} = \frac{\sqrt{3} + 3}{1 - 3} = \frac{\sqrt{3} + 3}{-2}$$
- Negative distance is not possible, so switch order:
$$d + 1 = h$$
$$h = d \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$$
- Substitute $h$:
$$d + 1 = d \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$$
- Rearranged:
$$d \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} - d = 1$$
$$d \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} - 1\right) = 1$$
$$d = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} - 1} = \frac{1}{\frac{1 - \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{1 - \sqrt{3}} = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} - 1}$$
- Multiply numerator and denominator by $\sqrt{3} + 1$:
$$d = -\frac{\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{3} + 1)}{(\sqrt{3} - 1)(\sqrt{3} + 1)} = -\frac{3 + \sqrt{3}}{3 - 1} = -\frac{3 + \sqrt{3}}{2}$$
- Negative distance again, so the first stone is closer, so assign:
$$d = h \tan 30^\circ = \frac{h}{\sqrt{3}}$$
$$d + 1 = h \tan 45^\circ = h$$
- So:
$$d + 1 = h$$
$$d = \frac{h}{\sqrt{3}}$$
- Substitute $d$:
$$\frac{h}{\sqrt{3}} + 1 = h$$
- Rearrange:
$$1 = h - \frac{h}{\sqrt{3}} = h \left(1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right) = h \frac{\sqrt{3} - 1}{\sqrt{3}}$$
- Solve for $h$:
$$h = \frac{1 \times \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} - 1} = \frac{\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{3} + 1)}{(\sqrt{3} - 1)(\sqrt{3} + 1)} = \frac{3 + \sqrt{3}}{2} \approx 2.366 \text{ km}$$
### Step 8: Height of lighthouse
- Let height be $h$.
- Distance between boats is 100m.
- Let distances from boats to lighthouse base be $x$ and $100 - x$.
- Angles of elevation: $30^\circ$ and $45^\circ$.
- From boat 1:
$$\tan 30^\circ = \frac{h}{x} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \Rightarrow h = \frac{x}{\sqrt{3}}$$
- From boat 2:
$$\tan 45^\circ = \frac{h}{100 - x} = 1 \Rightarrow h = 100 - x$$
- Equate:
$$\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}} = 100 - x$$
- Multiply both sides by $\sqrt{3}$:
$$x = (100 - x) \sqrt{3}$$
- Rearrange:
$$x + x \sqrt{3} = 100 \sqrt{3}$$
$$x (1 + \sqrt{3}) = 100 \sqrt{3}$$
$$x = \frac{100 \sqrt{3}}{1 + \sqrt{3}} = \frac{100 \sqrt{3} (1 - \sqrt{3})}{(1 + \sqrt{3})(1 - \sqrt{3})} = \frac{100 \sqrt{3} (1 - \sqrt{3})}{1 - 3} = \frac{100 \sqrt{3} (1 - \sqrt{3})}{-2}$$
- Calculate numerator:
$$100 \sqrt{3} (1 - \sqrt{3}) = 100 \sqrt{3} - 100 \times 3 = 100 \sqrt{3} - 300$$
- So:
$$x = -\frac{100 \sqrt{3} - 300}{2} = \frac{300 - 100 \sqrt{3}}{2}$$
- Approximate:
$$\sqrt{3} \approx 1.732$$
$$x \approx \frac{300 - 173.2}{2} = \frac{126.8}{2} = 63.4 \text{ m}$$
- Height:
$$h = \frac{x}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{63.4}{1.732} \approx 36.6 \text{ m}$$
### Step 9: Height of tower
- Let height be $h$.
- Initial distance from tower base: $d$.
- Initial angle: $30^\circ$.
- After moving 20m closer: distance $d - 20$.
- New angle: $45^\circ$.
- From initial position:
$$\tan 30^\circ = \frac{h}{d} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \Rightarrow h = \frac{d}{\sqrt{3}}$$
- From new position:
$$\tan 45^\circ = \frac{h}{d - 20} = 1 \Rightarrow h = d - 20$$
- Equate:
$$\frac{d}{\sqrt{3}} = d - 20$$
- Rearrange:
$$d - \frac{d}{\sqrt{3}} = 20$$
$$d \left(1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right) = 20$$
$$d = \frac{20}{1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}} = \frac{20}{\frac{\sqrt{3} - 1}{\sqrt{3}}} = 20 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} - 1} = \frac{20 \sqrt{3} (\sqrt{3} + 1)}{(\sqrt{3} - 1)(\sqrt{3} + 1)} = \frac{20 \sqrt{3} (\sqrt{3} + 1)}{2} = 10 \sqrt{3} (\sqrt{3} + 1)$$
- Calculate:
$$10 \sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3} = 10 \times 3 = 30$$
$$10 \sqrt{3} \times 1 = 10 \sqrt{3} \approx 17.32$$
- So:
$$d = 30 + 17.32 = 47.32 \text{ m}$$
- Height:
$$h = d - 20 = 47.32 - 20 = 27.32 \text{ m}$$
### Step 10: Ladder problem
- Wall height: 7m
- Lamp height: $7 - 1 = 6$ m
- Let ladder length be $L$, distance from wall be $x$, angle with wall be $\theta$.
1. Length of ladder:
$$L = \frac{6}{\sin \theta}$$
2. Distance from wall:
$$x = L \cos \theta = \frac{6}{\sin \theta} \cos \theta = 6 \cot \theta$$
3. Angle $\theta$:
- Using Pythagoras:
$$L^2 = x^2 + 6^2$$
- Substitute $x = 6 \cot \theta$, $L = \frac{6}{\sin \theta}$:
$$\left(\frac{6}{\sin \theta}\right)^2 = (6 \cot \theta)^2 + 6^2$$
$$\frac{36}{\sin^2 \theta} = 36 \cot^2 \theta + 36$$
- Divide both sides by 36:
$$\frac{1}{\sin^2 \theta} = \cot^2 \theta + 1$$
- Recall identity:
$$\cot^2 \theta + 1 = \csc^2 \theta = \frac{1}{\sin^2 \theta}$$
- Identity holds for all $\theta$, so ladder length and distance depend on chosen $\theta$.
- If angle is given or ladder length is known, values can be computed.
