Answer:
Correct Answer: 37.(d)
Solution:
Formula:
- Given expression
$=3(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)^{4}+6(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)^{2}+4 \sin ^{6} \theta$
$=3\left((\sin \theta-\cos \theta)^{2}\right)^{2}+6(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)^{2}+4\left(\sin ^{2} \theta\right)^{3}$
$=3(1-\sin 2 \theta)^{2}+6(1+\sin 2 \theta)+4\left(1-\cos ^{2} \theta\right)^{3}$
$\left[\because 1+\sin 2 \theta=(\cos \theta+\sin \theta)^{2}\right.$ and $\left.1-\sin 2 \theta=(\cos \theta-\sin \theta)^{2}\right]$
$=3\left(1^{2}+\sin ^{2} 2 \theta-2 \sin 2 \theta\right)+6(1+\sin 2 \theta)$
$+4\left(1-\cos ^{6} \theta-3 \cos ^{2} \theta+3 \cos ^{4} \theta\right)$
$\left[\because(a-b)^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}-2 a b\right.$ and $\left.(a-b)^{3}=a^{3}-b^{3}-3 a^{2} b+3 a b^{2}\right]$
$=3+3 \sin ^{2} 2 \theta-6 \sin 2 \theta+6+6 \sin 2 \theta+4$
$ -4 \cos ^{6} \theta-12 \cos ^{2} \theta+12 \cos ^{4} \theta $
$=13+3 \sin ^{2} 2 \theta-4 \cos ^{6} \theta-12 \cos ^{2} \theta+12 \cos ^{4} \theta$
$=13+3(2 \sin \theta \cos \theta)^{2}-4 \cos ^{6} \theta-12 \cos ^{2} \theta\left(1-\cos ^{2} \theta\right)$
$=13+12 \sin ^{2} \theta \cos ^{2} \theta-4 \cos ^{6} \theta-12 \cos ^{2} \theta \sin ^{2} \theta$
$=13-4 \cos ^{6} \theta$
