  1. (i) False,
    Let A = 30° and B = 60°
    Therefore, LHS = sin(A + B) = sin(30° + 60°) = sin 90° 1 and
    RHS = sin A + sin B = sin 30° + sin 60° = 1/2 + √3/2 = (1+√3)/2 ≠ 1
    Hence, sin (A + B) ≠ sin A + sin B

    (ii) True,
    As we know that sin 0° = 0, sin 30° = 1/2, sin 45° = 1/√2, sin 60° = √3/2 and sin 90° = 1
    Hence, for the increasing values of θ, sin θ is also increasing.

    (iii) False,
    As we know that cos 0° = 1, cos 30° = √3/2, cos 45° = 1√2, cos 60° = 1/2 and cos 90° = 0
    Hence, for the increasing values of θ, cos θ is decreasing.

    (iv) False,
    ∵ cos 30° = √3/2, but sin 30° = 1/2.

    (v) True,
    ∵ tan 0° = 0, we know that cot 0° = 1/tan 0° = 1/0, which is not defined.
