The numbers 32sin⁡2α−1,14{3}^{2\sin 2\alpha - 1}, 14 and 34−2sin⁡2α{3}^{4 - 2\sin 2\alpha} form first three terms of an A.P.A. P.,& then its fifth term is

Options

  1. A−25- 25
  2. B−12- 12
  3. C4040
  4. D5353

Correct answer

D. 5353

Step-by-step solution

Since, 32sin⁡2α−1,14{3}^{2\sin 2\alpha - 1}, 14 and 34−2sin⁡2αarein{3}^{4 - 2\sin 2\alpha} are inAP.Therefore,</p><p>. Therefore,</p><p>2 \times 14 = {3}^{2\sin 2\alpha - 1} + {3}^{4 - 2\sin 2\alpha}</p><p></p><p>⇒ 28 = \dfrac{a}{3} + \dfrac{34}{a},where, wherea = {3}^{2\sin 2\alpha}</p><p></p><p>⇒ a^{2} - 84a + 243 = 0</p><p></p><p>⇒ \left(a - 81\right)\left(a - 3\right) = 0</p><p></p><p>⇒ a = 81, a = 3</p><p></p><p>⇒ {3}^{2\sin 2\alpha} = {3}^{4}oror{3}^{2\sin 2\alpha} = 3</p><p></p><p>⇒ 2\sin 2\alpha = 1 \left[∵ 2\sin 2\alpha \ne4\right]</p><p></p><p>⇒ \sin 2\alpha = \dfrac{1}{2}⇒2α=30°[∵sin⁡30°=1/2]⇒ 2\alpha =30 ° \left[∵ \sin 30 ° = 1 / 2\right]

Thus, the first three terms of the APAP are 1,14,271, 14, 27.

Hence, its fifth term a5=a1+(5−1)d{a}_{5} = {a}_{1} + \left(5 - 1\right) d

=1+4×13=1+52=53= 1 + 4 \times13 = 1 + 52 = 53
