If ${\sin ^2}\theta - 2\cos \theta + \frac{1}{4} = 0,$ then the general value of $\theta $ is
- A
$n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{3}$
- ✓
$2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{3}$
- C
$2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{6}$
- D
$n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{6}$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{3}$
b
(b) $1 - {\cos ^2}\theta - 2\cos \theta + \frac{1}{4} = 0$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${\cos ^2}\theta + 2\cos \theta - \frac{5}{4} = 0$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\cos \theta = \frac{{ - 2 \pm \sqrt {4 + 5} }}{2} = - 1 \pm \frac{3}{2}$
Since $|\cos \theta |\, \le 1$,
hence $\cos \theta = - 1 - \frac{3}{2}$ is ruled out.
$ \Rightarrow $ $\cos \theta = - 1 + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{1}{2} = \cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{3}} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\theta = 2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{3}$.

If $\sqrt 2 \sec \theta + \tan \theta = 1,$ then the general value $\theta $ is
AnswerCorrect option: C. $2n\pi - \frac{\pi }{4}$
c
(c) $\sqrt 2 \sec \theta + \tan \theta = 1 $
$\Rightarrow \frac{{\sqrt 2 }}{{\cos \theta }} + \frac{{\sin \theta }}{{\cos \theta }} = 1$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\sin \theta - \cos \theta = - \sqrt 2 $
Dividing by $\sqrt 2 $ on both sides, we get
$\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\sin \theta - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\cos \theta = - 1$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\cos \theta - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\sin \theta = 1 $
$\Rightarrow \cos \,\left( {\theta + \frac{\pi }{4}} \right) = \cos (0)$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\theta + \frac{\pi }{4} = 2n\pi \pm 0$
$\Rightarrow \theta = 2n\pi - \frac{\pi }{4}$.

$i.e.,$ $\sin \theta = 0 \Rightarrow \theta = n\pi $
or $\frac{1}{{\cos \theta }} = - 2 $
$\Rightarrow \cos \theta = - \frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \theta = 2n\pi \pm \left( {\frac{{2\pi }}{3}} \right)$.

(b) $\sqrt 3 \tan 2\theta + \sqrt 3 \tan 3\theta + \tan 2\theta \tan 3\theta = 1$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\frac{{\tan 2\theta + \tan 3\theta }}{{1 - \tan 2\theta \tan 3\theta }} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}$
==> $\tan 5\theta = \tan \frac{\pi }{6}$

If $4{\sin ^4}x + {\cos ^4}x = 1,$ then $x =$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $n\pi $
a
(a) The given equation can be put in the form
$4{\sin ^4}x = 1 - {\cos ^4}x = (1 - {\cos ^2}x)\,(1 + {\cos ^2}x)$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${\sin ^2}x[4{\sin ^2}x - 1 - (1 - {\sin ^2}x)] = 0$
$ \Rightarrow $${\sin ^2}x[5{\sin ^2}x - 2] = 0$
$ \Rightarrow $$\sin x = 0$ or $\sin x = \pm \sqrt {2/5} $.

$\frac{\pi }{3}(6k - 1)$
- C
$\frac{\pi }{3}(2k + 1)$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: A. $\frac{\pi }{3}(6k + 1)$
a
(a) We have $\cos 3x + \sin {\rm{ }}\left( {2x - \frac{{7\pi }}{6}} \right)\, = - 2$
$ \Rightarrow $ $1 + \cos 3x + 1 + \sin \left( {2x - \frac{{7\pi }}{6}} \right) = 0$
$ \Rightarrow $ $(1 + \cos 3x) + 1 - \cos \left( {2x - \frac{{2\pi }}{3}} \right) = 0$
$ \Rightarrow $ $2{\cos ^2}\frac{{3x}}{2} + 2{\sin ^2}\left( {x - \frac{\pi }{3}} \right) = 0$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\cos \frac{{3x}}{2} = 0$ and $\sin \left( {x - \frac{\pi }{3}} \right) = 0$
$ \Rightarrow $$\frac{{3x}}{2} = \frac{\pi }{2},\,\frac{{3\pi }}{2},\,.....$
and $x - \frac{\pi }{3}$=0, $\pi ,2\pi ..... \Rightarrow x = \frac{\pi }{3}$
Therefore, the general solution of $\cos \frac{{3x}}{2} = 0$
and $\sin \left( {x - \frac{\pi }{3}} \right) = 0$ is $x = 2k\pi + \frac{\pi }{3} = \frac{\pi }{3}(6k + 1),$ where $k \in Z$.

b
(b) We have, $1 - \cos \theta = \sin \theta \,.\,\sin \frac{\theta }{2}$
==> $2{\sin ^2}\frac{\theta }{2} = 2\sin \frac{\theta }{2}\,.\,\cos \frac{\theta }{2}\,.\,\sin \frac{\theta }{2}$
==> $2{\sin ^2}\frac{\theta }{2}\,\left[ {1 - \cos \frac{\theta }{2}} \right] = 0$
==> $\sin \frac{\theta }{2} = 0$ or $2{\sin ^2}\frac{\theta }{4} = 0$
==> $\sin \frac{\theta }{2} = 0$ or $\sin \frac{\theta }{4} = 0$
==> $\frac{\theta }{2} = k\pi $ or $\frac{\theta }{4} = k\pi $.
Hence, $\theta = 2k\pi $ or $\theta = 4k\pi $, $k \in I$.

- B
$\frac{\pi }{{12}}$
- ✓
$\frac{\pi }{3}$
- D
$\frac{\pi }{4}$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $\frac{\pi }{3}$
c
(c) $ \sin 5x + \sin 3x + \sin x = 0$
$ \Rightarrow $ $ - \sin 3x = \sin 5x + \sin x = 2\sin 3x\cos 2x$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\sin 3x = 0$
$ \Rightarrow $ $x = 0$
or $\cos 2x = - \frac{1}{2} = - \cos \,\left( {\frac{\pi }{3}} \right) = \cos \,\left( {\pi - \frac{\pi }{3}} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow $ $2x = 2n\pi \pm \left( {\pi - \frac{\pi }{3}} \right)\, $
$\Rightarrow x = n\pi \pm \left( {\frac{\pi }{3}} \right)$
For $x$ lying between $0$ and $\frac{\pi }{2}$, we get $x = \frac{\pi }{3}$.

If $|k|\, = 5$ and ${0^o} \le \theta \le {360^o}$, then the number of different solutions of $3\cos \theta + 4\sin \theta = k$ is
Answerb
(b) $3\cos \theta + 4\sin \theta = 5\,\left[ {\frac{3}{5}\cos \theta + \frac{4}{5}\sin \theta } \right] = 5\cos (\theta - \alpha )$
where $\cos \alpha = \frac{3}{5}$, $\sin \alpha = \frac{4}{5}$
Now $3\cos \theta + 4\sin \theta = k$
$\therefore$ $5\cos (\theta - \alpha ) = k$
$\Rightarrow \cos (\theta - \alpha ) = \pm 1$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\theta - \alpha = {0^o},\,{180^o} $
$\Rightarrow \theta = \alpha ,\,{\rm{ }}{180^o} + \alpha $.

(d) $\cos 6\theta + \cos 4\theta + \cos 2\theta + 1 = 0$

- ✓
$ \pm \frac{\pi }{4}$
- C
$\frac{{3\pi }}{2}$

AnswerCorrect option: B. $ \pm \frac{\pi }{4}$
b
(b) We have $1 - \cos 2x + 1 - {\cos ^2}2x = 2$
or $\cos 2x(\cos 2x + 1) = 0$
$\therefore $ $\cos 2x = 0,\, - 1$,
$\therefore $ $2x = \left( {n + \frac{1}{2}} \right){\rm{ }}\pi \,{\rm{\, or\,\,}}\,\,(2n + 1){\rm{ }}\pi $
$ \Rightarrow $ $x = (2n + 1)\frac{\pi }{4}{\rm{\,\, or\,\, }}(2n + 1)\frac{\pi }{2}$
Now put $n = - 2,\, - 1,\,0,\,1,\,2$
$\therefore $ $x = \frac{{ - 3\pi }}{4},\,\frac{{ - \pi }}{4},\,\frac{\pi }{4},\,\frac{{3\pi }}{4},\,\frac{{5\pi }}{4}$
and $\frac{{ - 3\pi }}{2},\,\frac{{ - \pi }}{2},\,\frac{\pi }{2},\,\frac{{3\pi }}{2},\,\frac{{5\pi }}{2}$

$\frac{\pi }{6},\frac{\pi }{9}$

AnswerCorrect option: A. $\frac{\pi }{9},\frac{\pi }{4}$
a
(a) $\sin 7\theta + \sin \theta - \sin 4\theta = 0$
$ \Rightarrow $ $2\sin 4\theta \cos 3\theta - \sin 4\theta = 0$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\sin 4\theta (2\cos 3\theta - 1) = 0 $
$\Rightarrow \sin 4\theta = 0,\,{\rm{ }}\cos 3\theta = \frac{1}{2}$
Now $\sin 4\theta = 0$ $ \Rightarrow $ $4\theta = \pi $ $ \Rightarrow $ $\theta = \frac{\pi }{4}$.
and $\cos 3\theta = \frac{1}{2}$ $ \Rightarrow $ $3\theta = \frac{\pi }{3}$ $ \Rightarrow $ $\theta = \frac{\pi }{9}$.

$x = (2n - 1)\frac{\pi }{2}$
- ✓
$x = (2n + 1)\frac{\pi }{4}$
- C
$x = (2n + 1)\frac{\pi }{3}$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: B. $x = (2n + 1)\frac{\pi }{4}$
b
(b) $2{\sin ^2}x + {\sin ^2}2x = 2$ ......$(i)$
and $\sin 2x + \cos 2x = \tan x$.....$(ii)$
Solving $(i)$, ${\sin ^2}2x = 2{\cos ^2}x$
==>$2{\cos ^2}x\cos 2x = 0$
==>$x = (2n + 1)\frac{\pi }{2}{\rm{ or }}x = (2n + 1)\frac{\pi }{4}$
$\therefore $ Common roots are $(2n \pm 1)\frac{\pi }{4}$
Solving $(ii)$, $\frac{{2\tan x + 1 - {{\tan }^2}x}}{{1 + {{\tan }^2}x}} = \tan x$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${\tan ^3}x + {\tan ^2}x - \tan x - 1 = 0$
$ \Rightarrow $ $({\tan ^2}x - 1)\,(\tan x + 1) = 0$
$ \Rightarrow $ $x = m\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{4}$
Trick : For $n = 0$, option $(a)$ gives $\theta = - \frac{\pi }{2}$ which satisfies the equation $(i)$ but does not satisfy the $(ii)$.
Now option $(b) $ gives $\theta = \frac{\pi }{4}$ which satisfies both the equations.

c
(c) Given equation is,$\cos x - \sin x = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$
Dividing equation by $\sqrt 2 $,
$\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\cos x - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\sin x = \frac{1}{2}$
$\cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{4} + x} \right) = \cos \frac{\pi }{3}$.
Hence, $\frac{\pi }{4} + x = 2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{3}$
$x = 2n\pi + \frac{\pi }{3} - \frac{\pi }{4} = 2n\pi + \frac{\pi }{{12}}$

$(4\cos {\rm{ec}}\theta - 5)(3\cos {\rm{ec}}\theta - 4) = 0$

AnswerCorrect option: B. $\frac{{2\pi }}{{p + q}}$
b
(b) Given $\cos p\theta = - \cos q\theta = \cos (\pi + q\theta )$
==> $p\theta = 2n\pi \pm (\pi + q\theta ),n \in I$
==> $\theta = \frac{{(2n + 1)\pi }}{{p - q}}$ or $\frac{{(2n - 1)\pi }}{{p + q}},\,\,n \in I$
Both the solutions form an $A.P.$ $\theta = \frac{{(2n + 1)\pi }}{{p - q}}$ gives us an $A.P.$ with common difference $\frac{{2\pi }}{{p - q}}$ and
$\theta = \frac{{(2n - 1)\pi }}{{p + q}}$ gives us an $A.P.$ with common difference $ = \frac{{2\pi }}{{p + q}}$.
Certainly, $\frac{{2\pi }}{{p + q}} < \,\left| {\,\frac{{2\pi }}{{p - q}}\,} \right|$.

This equation has roots $\tan \frac{\alpha }{2}$ and $\tan \frac{\beta }{2}$.
$\therefore $ $\tan \frac{\alpha }{2} + \tan \frac{\beta }{2} = \frac{{2b}}{{a + c}}$ and
$\tan \frac{\alpha }{2}\tan \frac{\beta }{2} = \frac{{c - a}}{{a + c}}$
Now $\tan \left( {\frac{\alpha }{2} + \frac{\beta }{2}} \right) = \frac{{\tan \frac{\alpha }{2} + \tan \frac{\beta }{2}}}{{1 - \tan \frac{\alpha }{2}\tan \frac{\beta }{2}}}$
$= \frac{{\frac{{2b}}{{a + c}}}}{{1 - \frac{{c - a}}{{a + c}}}} = \frac{b}{a}$.
