Options
- A\left\{2 n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{12}: n \in Z\right\}
- B\left\{2 n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{12}: n \in Z\right\}
- C\left\{n \pi+(-1)^n \frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{12}: n \in Z\right\}
- D\left\{n \pi+(-1)^n \frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{12}: n \in Z\right\}
Correct answer
A. \left\{2 n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{12}: n \in Z\right\}
Step-by-step solution
...(i)
Comparing with .
ie,
Dividing on both sides by in Eq. (i), we get
\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\right) \sin \theta+\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\right) \cos \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\quad \sin \alpha=\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\cos \alpha=\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\right)^2}=\sqrt{1-\frac{(4-2 \sqrt{3})}{8}}=\sqrt{\frac{8-4+2 \sqrt{3}}{8}}=\sqrt{\frac{4+2 \sqrt{3}}{8}}=\sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{4}}=\sqrt{\frac{(\sqrt{3}+1)^2}{8}}= \quad \sin \alpha \cdot \sin \theta+\cos \alpha \cdot \cos \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\cos (\theta-\alpha)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\cos \frac{\pi}{4}\theta-\alpha=\frac{\pi}{4}, \theta=\frac{\pi}{4}+\alpha\ldots (ii)
15=\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2 \sqrt{2}}
ie, \frac{\pi}{12}\Rightarrow \quad \alpha=\frac{\pi}{12}
From Eq. (ii), \left[\theta=2 n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{12}\right] .n \in Z
