If 1 6 sin θ , cos θ and tan θ are in geometric progression, then the complete solution set of θ is
Options
- Aθ : θ = 2 n π ± π 6 , n ∈ I
- Bθ : θ = 2 n π ± π 3 , n ∈ I
- Cθ : θ = n π + - 1 n π 3 , n ∈ I
- Dθ : θ = n π + π 3 , n ∈ I
Correct answer
B. θ : θ = 2 n π ± π 3 , n ∈ I
Step-by-step solution
cos 2 θ = 1 6 sin θ tan θ ⇒ cos 2 θ = 1 6 sin 2 θ cos θ ⇒ 6 cos 3 θ = 1 - cos 2 θ ⇒ 6 cos 3 θ + cos 2 θ - 1 = 0 ⇒ cos θ = 1 2 ⇒ θ = 2 n π ± π 3 , n ∈ I .
