[Karnataka CET 2000; Pb. CET 2001]

Options:

A) $ \theta =\frac{n\pi }{7}+\frac{\pi }{14} $

B) $ \theta =\frac{n\pi }{7}+\frac{\pi }{5} $

C) $ \theta =\frac{n\pi }{7}+\frac{\pi }{2} $

D) $ \theta =\frac{n\pi }{7}+\frac{\pi }{3},n\in Z $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • $ \tan 5\theta =\tan ( \frac{\pi }{2}-2\theta ) $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ 5\theta =n\pi +\frac{\pi }{2}-2\theta $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ 7\theta =n\pi +\frac{\pi }{2} $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ \theta =\frac{n\pi }{7}+\frac{\pi }{14} $ .
