Q1. 

Let sinA/a = sinB/b = sinC/c = k (By sine rule)

sinA = ak, sinB = bk, sinC = ck 

sin(A - B) = sinAcosB - cosAsinB = akcosB - bkcosA = k(acosB - BcosA) 

sin (B - C) = sinBcosC - cosBsinC = bkcosC - ckcosB = k(bcosC - c.cosB)

sin (C - A) = sinCcosA - cosCsinA = ckcosA - akcosC = k(c.cosA - acosC)

Now, 

a sin (B – C) + b sin (C – A) + c sin (A – B)

= ak(bcosC - c.cosB) + bk(c.cosA - acosC) + ck(c.cosA - acosC)

= k(bc cosA - bc cosA) + k(ab cosC - ab cosC) + k(ac cosB - ac cosB)

= 0 

= RHS

Hence, proved

Q2. Let r be the radius. 

Area of sector = lr/2 (l is length and r is the radius) 

lr/2 = θπr2/360

37.4r / 2 = 22× r2 / 42

1.7/2 = r/42

r = 1.7 × 21

r = 35.7 cm

Q3. 

The wheel makes 360 revolutions in 60 seconds

So, the wheel will make 6 revolution in 1 second. 

Angle made in 1 revolution by wheel = 2π

Angle made in 6 revolutions = 12π

Therefore, the wheel turns 12π radians in one second. 

Q4. 

√3/sin20 - 1/cos20

= (√3cos20 - sin20) / (sin20. cos20)

= 2(√3/2cos20 - 1/2. sin20) / (sin20. cos20)

= 2(sin60cos20 - cos60.sin20) / (sin20. cos20)

= 2(sin40) / (sin20. cos20)

= 2{2 × (sin20. cos20)} /  (sin20. cos20)

= 2 × 2

= 4

Q5. 

tan3x = tan(2x + x)

or tan3x = (tan2x + x) / (1 - tan2x. tanx)

or tan3x - tan3x.tan2x.tanx = (tan2x + x)

or tan3x - tan2x - tanx = tan3x.tan2x.tanx

or tan3x.tan2x.tanx = tan3x - tan2x - tanx

LHS = RHS. 

Hence, proved.
