Question: The value of $ \theta $ in between $ 0^{o} $ and $ 360^{o} $ and satisfying the equation $ \tan \theta +\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=0 $ is equal to

[Pb. CET 2002]

Options:

A) $ \theta =150^{o} $ and $ 300^{o} $

B) $ \theta =120^{o} $ and $ 300^{o} $

C) $ \theta =60^{o} $ and $ 240^{o} $

D) $ \theta =150^{o} $ and $ 330^{o} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • We have, $ \tan \theta +\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=0 $ or $ \tan \theta =-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} $ $ \because $ $ \theta $ lies in between $ 0{}^\circ $ and $ 360{}^\circ $
    $ \therefore $ $ \theta =150{}^\circ $ and $ 330{}^\circ $ .
