B) $ \frac{\pi }{3},\frac{\pi }{9} $

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

D) $ \frac{\pi }{3},\frac{\pi }{4} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • $ \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,,\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} $ .
