Trigonometrical Equations 1 Question 20

20. The values of θ lying between θ=0 and θ=π/2 and satisfying the equation

|1+sin2θcos2θ4sin4θsin2θ1+cos2θ4sin4θsin2θcos2θ1+4sin4θ|=0, is 

(a) 7π/24

(b) 5π/24

(c) 11π/24

(d) π/24

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 20. (a, c)

Solution:

  1. Given, |1+sin2θcos2θ4sin4θsin2θ1+cos2θ4sin4θsin2θcos2θ1+4sin4θ|=0

Applying R3R3R1 and R2R2R1, we get

|1+sin2θcos2θ4sin4θ110101|=0

Applying C1C1+C2, we get

|2cos2θ4sin4θ010101|=02+4sin4θ=0sin4θ=124θ=nπ+(1)nπ6θ=nπ4+(1)n+1π24

Clearly, θ=7π24,11π24 are two values of θ lying between 0 and π/2.
