    Question

    If sin(3x - 20)o)^o = cos (20 - 3y)o)^o, then value of x - y will be :​

    A.

    20o20^o​​

    B.

    60o60^o​​

    C.

    30o30^o​​

    D.

    45o45^o​​

    Correct option is C

    Given: 

    We are given the equation:

    sin(3x20)=cos(203y)\sin(3x - 20^\circ) = \cos(20^\circ - 3y)​​

    Concept Used:

    cos(θ)=sin(90θ)\cos(\theta) = \sin(90^\circ - \theta)  

    Solution:

    Applying the identity to the right-hand side:

    cos(203y)=sin(90(203y))=sin(70+3y)\cos(20^\circ - 3y) = \sin(90^\circ - (20^\circ - 3y)) = \sin(70^\circ + 3y) 

    Now,

    sin(3x20)=sin(70+3y)\sin(3x - 20^\circ) = \sin(70^\circ + 3y)

    3x20=70+3y3x - 20^\circ = 70^\circ + 3y 

    3x3y=903x - 3y = 90^\circ 

    xy=30x - y = 30^\circ 

    ​Thus, the value of x−yx - yxy is: 3030^\circ​​

    180∘180^\circ Therefore, we have two cases to consider:3x−20∘=70∘+3y3x - 20^\circ = 70^\circ + 3y3x20=70+3y
