Answer:
Correct Answer: 32.(a)
Solution:
Formula:
System of equations with 3 variables:
- Let $\Delta=\left|\begin{matrix}1+\cos ^{2} \theta & \sin ^{2} \theta & 4 \cos 6 \theta \\ \cos ^{2} \theta & 1+\sin ^{2} \theta & 4 \cos 6 \theta \\ \cos ^{2} \theta & \sin ^{2} \theta & 1+4 \cos 6 \theta\end{matrix}\right|=0$
Applying $C_{1} \rightarrow C_{1}+C_{2}$, we get
$ \Delta=\left|\begin{matrix} 2 & \sin ^{2} \theta & 4 \cos 6 \theta \\ 2 & 1+\sin ^{2} \theta & 4 \cos 6 \theta \\ 1 & \sin ^{2} \theta & 1+4 \cos 6 \theta \end{matrix}\right|=0 $
Applying $R_{1} \rightarrow R_{1}-2 R_{3}$ and $R_{2} \rightarrow R_{2}-2 R_{3}$, we get
$ \Delta=\left|\begin{matrix} 0 & -\sin ^{2} \theta & -2-4 \cos 6 \theta \\ 0 & 1-\sin ^{2} \theta & -2-4 \cos 6 \theta \\ 1 & \sin ^{2} \theta & 1+4 \cos 6 \theta \end{matrix}\right|=0 $
On expanding w.r.t. $C_{1}$, we get
$\Rightarrow \sin ^{2} \theta(2+4 \cos 6 \theta)+(2+4 \cos 6 \theta)\left(1-\sin ^{2} \theta\right)=0$
$\Rightarrow 2+4 \cos 6 \theta=0 \Rightarrow \cos 6 \theta=-\frac{1}{2}=\cos \frac{2 \pi}{3}$
$ \Rightarrow \quad 6 \theta=\frac{2 \pi}{3} \Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\pi}{9} \quad $
$[\because \theta \in (0, \frac{\pi}{3})] $
