MCQ
If $1 + \cos \alpha + {\cos ^2}\alpha + .......\,\infty = 2 - \sqrt {2,} $ then $\alpha ,$ $(0 < \alpha < \pi )$ is
  • A
    $\pi /8$
  • B
    $\pi /6$
  • C
    $\pi /4$
  • $3\pi /4$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$3\pi /4$
d
(d) $1 - \cos \alpha = \frac{1}{{2 - \sqrt 2 }} = 1 + \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$

==> $\cos \alpha = - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} = \cos \frac{{3\pi }}{4}$

==> $\alpha = \frac{{3\pi }}{4}$.
