[MP PET 1986]

Options:

A) $ 30^{o},90^{o},150^{o} $

B) $ 60^{o},120^{o},180^{o} $

C) $ 0^{o},30^{o},150^{o} $

D) $ 45^{o},90^{o},135^{o} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • $ 2-2{{\sin }^{2}}x+3\sin x-3=0 $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ (2\sin x-1),(\sin x-1)=0 $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ \sin x=\frac{1}{2} $ or $ \sin x=1 $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ x=\frac{\pi }{6},,\frac{5\pi }{6} $ , $ \frac{\pi }{2} $ i.e., $ 30{}^\circ ,\text{ 150}{}^\circ \text{, 90}{}^\circ $ .
