Correct answer

Step-by-step solution

Given,

xsinθ=ysin(θ+2π3)=zsin(θ+4π3)≠0xsin\theta = ysin\left(\theta + \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right) = zsin\left(\theta + \dfrac{4\pi}{3}\right) \ne 0, 

⇒y=xsinθsin⁡(θ+2π3),z=xsinθsin⁡(θ+4π3)⇒ y = \dfrac{xsin\theta}{\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right)}, z = \dfrac{xsin\theta}{\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{4\pi}{3}\right)}

Now, finding the trace of matrix we get,

x+y+z=x+xsinθsin⁡(θ+2π3)+xsinθsin⁡(θ+4π3)x + y + z = x + \dfrac{xsin\theta}{\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right)} + \dfrac{xsin\theta}{\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{4\pi}{3}\right)}

⇒x+y+z=xsin(θ+2π3)sin⁡(θ+4π3)+xsinθsin(θ+4π3)+xsinθsin(θ+2π3)sin⁡(θ+2π3)sin⁡(θ+4π3)⇒ x + y + z = \dfrac{xsin\left(\theta + \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right)\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{4\pi}{3}\right) + xsin\theta sin\left(\theta + \dfrac{4\pi}{3}\right) + xsin\theta sin\left(\theta + \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right)}{\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right)\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{4\pi}{3}\right)}

⇒x+y+z=xsin(θ+2π3)sin⁡(θ+4π3)+xsinθ(sin⁡(θ+4π3)+sin⁡(θ+2π3))sin⁡(θ+2π3)sin⁡(θ+4π3)⇒ x + y + z = \dfrac{xsin\left(\theta + \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right)\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{4\pi}{3}\right) + xsin\theta\left(\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{4\pi}{3}\right) + \sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right)\right)}{\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right)\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{4\pi}{3}\right)}

⇒x+y+z=x2⋅2sin⁡(θ+2π3)sin⁡(θ+4π3)+xsinθ(2sin⁡(θ+π)cos⁡(π3))sin⁡(θ+2π3)sin⁡(θ+4π3)⇒ x + y + z = \dfrac{\dfrac{x}{2} \cdot 2\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right)\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{4\pi}{3}\right) + xsin\theta\left(2\sin \left(\theta + \pi\right)\cos \left(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right)\right)}{\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right)\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{4\pi}{3}\right)}

⇒x+y+z=x2⋅(cos⁡(2π3)−cos⁡(2θ+2π))+xsinθ(−2sinθ⋅12)sin⁡(θ+2π3)sin⁡(θ+4π3)⇒ x + y + z = \dfrac{\dfrac{x}{2} \cdot \left(\cos \left(\dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right) - \cos \left(2\theta + 2\pi\right)\right) + xsin\theta\left(- 2sin\theta \cdot \dfrac{1}{2}\right)}{\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right)\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{4\pi}{3}\right)}

⇒x+y+z=x2⋅(−12−cos⁡2θ)−xsin⁡2θsin⁡(θ+2π3)sin⁡(θ+4π3)⇒ x + y + z = \dfrac{\dfrac{x}{2} \cdot \left(\dfrac{- 1}{2} - \cos 2\theta\right) - x\sin^{2}\theta}{\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right)\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{4\pi}{3}\right)}

⇒x+y+z=−x−2xcos2θ−4xsin⁡2θ4sin⁡(θ+2π3)sin⁡(θ+4π3)⇒ x + y + z = \dfrac{- x - 2xcos2\theta - 4x\sin^{2}\theta}{4\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right)\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{4\pi}{3}\right)}

⇒x+y+z=−x−2x(1−2sin⁡2θ)−4xsin⁡2θ4sin⁡(θ+2π3)sin⁡(θ+4π3)⇒ x + y + z = \dfrac{- x - 2x\left(1 - 2\sin^{2}\theta\right) - 4x\sin^{2}\theta}{4\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right)\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{4\pi}{3}\right)}

⇒x+y+z=−3x+4xsin⁡2θ−4xsin⁡2θ4sin⁡(θ+2π3)sin⁡(θ+4π3)⇒ x + y + z = \dfrac{- 3x + 4x\sin^{2}\theta - 4x\sin^{2}\theta}{4\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right)\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{4\pi}{3}\right)}

⇒x+y+z=−3x4sin⁡(θ+2π3)sin⁡(θ+4π3)≠0⇒ x + y + z = \dfrac{- 3x}{4\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right)\sin \left(\theta + \dfrac{4\pi}{3}\right)} \ne 0

\left(I\right)TraceTrace( R ) = x + y + z \ne 0</p><p></p><p>⇒Statement(i)isFalse</p><p>Now,findingStatement (i) is False</p><p>Now, findingAdj ( Adj ( R ) )</p><p>Now,usingtheproperty</p><p>Now, using the propertyAdj ( Adj ( R ) ) = R | R |weget,</p><p>Trace(Adj(Adj(R)))=xyz(x+y+z)≠0we get,</p><p>Trace ( Adj ( Adj ( R ) ) ) = xyz ( x + y + z ) \ne 0

{As x+y+z≠0x + y + z \ne 0 proved above and x,y and zx, y \text{ and } z are non zero}

Hence, Trace(adj(adj(R))=0Trace ( adj ( adj ( R ) ) = 0 is a false statement,

So, neither \left(I\right)nor (II)nor \left(II\right) are true
