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
    $n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{6}$
Answer
Correct 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
  • A
    $n\pi + \frac{{3\pi }}{4}$
  • B
    $2n\pi + \frac{\pi }{4}$
  • $2n\pi - \frac{\pi }{4}$
  • D
    $2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{4}$
Answer
Correct 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 $ $\theta + \frac{\pi }{4} = 2n\pi \pm 0$

$\Rightarrow \theta = 2n\pi - \frac{\pi }{4}$.

  • $\frac{\pi }{3}(6k + 1)$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi }{3}(6k - 1)$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi }{3}(2k + 1)$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct 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 $k \in Z$.

Answer
Correct 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) 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, $\frac{\pi }{4} + x = 2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{3}$

$x = 2n\pi + \frac{\pi }{3} - \frac{\pi }{4} = 2n\pi + \frac{\pi }{{12}}$

$ \Rightarrow $ $a\,\left( {\frac{{1 - {{\tan }^2}\,(x/2)}}{{1 + {{\tan }^2}(x/2)}}} \right) + \frac{{2b\tan (x/2)}}{{1 + {{\tan }^2}(x/2)}} = c$

$ \Rightarrow $ $(a + c){\tan ^2}\frac{x}{2} - 2b\tan \frac{x}{2} + (c - a) = 0$

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 $\tan \left( {\frac{\alpha }{2} + \frac{\beta }{2}} \right) = \frac{{\tan \frac{\alpha }{2} + \tan \frac{\beta }{2}}}{{1 - \tan \frac{\alpha }{2}\tan \frac{\beta }{2}}}$

$= \frac{{\frac{{2b}}{{a + c}}}}{{1 - \frac{{c - a}}{{a + c}}}} = \frac{b}{a}$.
