MCQ
If $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -\tan\theta \\ \tan\theta & 1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & \tan\theta \\ -\tan\theta & 1 \end{bmatrix}-1=\begin{bmatrix} \text{a} & -\text{b} \\ \text{b} & \text{a} \end{bmatrix},$ then:
  • A
    $\text{a}=1,\text{b}=1$
  • $\text{a}=\cos2\theta,\text{b}=\sin2\theta$
  • C
    $\text{a}=\sin2\theta,\text{b}=\cos2\theta$
  • D
    None of these.

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\text{a}=\cos2\theta,\text{b}=\sin2\theta$
$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -\tan\theta \\ \tan\theta & 1 \end{bmatrix}^{-1}=\frac{1}{\sec^2\theta}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & \tan\theta \\ -\tan\theta & 1 \end{bmatrix}^{-1}$
$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -\tan\theta \\ \tan\theta & 1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & \tan\theta \\ -\tan\theta & 1 \end{bmatrix}^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix} \text{a} & -\text{b} \\ \text{c} & \text{a} \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -\tan\theta \\ \tan\theta & 1 \end{bmatrix}\frac{1}{\sec^2\theta}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & \tan\theta \\ -\tan\theta & 1 \end{bmatrix}^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix} \text{a} & -\text{b} \\ \text{b} & \text{a} \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\sec^2\theta}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -\tan\theta \\ \tan\theta & 1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & \tan\theta \\ -\tan\theta & 1 \end{bmatrix}^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix} \text{a} & -\text{b} \\ \text{b} & \text{a} \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} \frac{1-\tan^2\theta}{\sec^2\theta} & \frac{-2\tan\theta}{\sec^2\theta} \\ \frac{2\tan\theta}{\sec^2\theta} & \frac{1-\tan^2\theta}{\sec^2\theta} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{a} & -\text{b} \\ \text{b} & \text{a} \end{bmatrix}$
On comparing, we get
$\text{a}=\frac{1-\tan^2\theta}{\sec^2\theta}\text{ and b}=\frac{2\tan\theta}{\sec^2\theta}$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}=\cos^2\theta-\sin^2\theta\text{ and b}=2\sin\theta\cos\theta$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}=\cos2\theta\text{ and b}=\sin2\theta$
