Answer:

Correct Answer: 9. (d)

Solution:

Given, $5 (\tan^{2} x - \cos^{2} x) = 2 \cos 2 x + 9$

$\Rightarrow 5 \frac{2 \sin^{2} x}{2 \cos^{2} x} - \cos^{2} x = 2 \cos 2 x + 9$

$\Rightarrow 5 \frac{1 - \cos 2 x}{1 + \cos 2 x} - \frac{1 + \cos 2 x}{2} = 2 \cos 2 x + 9$

Put $\cos 2 x = y$ , we have

$\begin{aligned} 5 \frac{1 - y}{1 + y} - \frac{1 + y}{2} = 2 y + 9 \\ \Rightarrow 5 (2 - 2 y - 1 - y^{2} - 2 y) = 2 (1 + y) (2 y + 9) \\ \Rightarrow 5 (1 - 4 y - y^{2}) = 2 (2 y + 9 + 2 y^{2} + 9 y) \\ \Rightarrow 5 - 20 y - 5 y^{2} = 22 y + 18 + 4 y^{2} \\ \Rightarrow 9 y^{2} + 42 y + 13 = 0 \\ \Rightarrow 9 y^{2} + 3 y + 39 y + 13 = 0 \\ \Rightarrow 3 y (3 y + 1) + 13 (3 y + 1) = 0 \\ \Rightarrow (3 y + 1) (3 y + 13) = 0 \\ \Rightarrow y = - \frac{1}{3}, - \frac{13}{3} \\ ∴ \cos 2 x = - \frac{1}{3}, - \frac{13}{3} \\ ∴ \cos 2 x = - \frac{1}{3} ∵ \cos 2 x \neq - \frac{13}{3} \end{aligned}$

Now, $\cos 4 x = 2 \cos^{2} 2 x - 1$

$= 2 - {\frac{1}{3}}^{2} - 1 = \frac{2}{9} - 1 = - \frac{7}{9}$
