Trigonometric Equations Question 73

Question: If $ r,\sin \theta =3,r=4(1+\sin \theta ),0\le \theta \le 2\pi , $ then $ \theta = $

[Roorkee 1974]

Options:

A) $ \frac{\pi }{6},\frac{\pi }{3} $

B) $ \frac{\pi }{6},\frac{5\pi }{6} $

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

D) $ \frac{\pi }{2},\pi $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • Eliminating $ r $ , we get
    $ \therefore $ $ \sin \theta =\frac{1}{2},,-\frac{3}{2} $ (rejected)
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ \theta =\frac{\pi }{6},,\pi -\frac{\pi }{6}=\frac{5\pi }{6} $ .
