  1. The value of sin²1° + sin²5° + sin²9° + .... + sin²89° is
    1. 11
      1
      2
    2. 11√2
    3. 11
    4. 11
      2
Correct Option: A

No. of terms in 1 + 5 + 9 + ... + 89 = n
∴ a + (n –1) d = t 2
⇒ 1 + (n – 1) 4 = 89
⇒ (n– 1) 4 = 89 – 1 = 88
⇒ n – 1 = 22
⇒ n = 23
Now, sin²1° + sin²89° + sin²5° + sin²85° + ... + to 22 terms + sin²45°
= (sin²1° + cos²1°) + (sin²5° + cos²5°) + ... + to 11 terms +

1² = 11 × 1 + (1 / 2)
2

= 11 +

= 11
