MCQ
If $\sin 2\theta + \sin 2\phi = 1/2$ and $\cos 2\theta + \cos 2\phi = 3/2$, then ${\cos ^2}(\theta - \phi ) = $
  • A
    $3/8$
  • $5/8$
  • C
    $3/4$
  • D
    $5/4$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$5/8$
b
(b) Given, $\sin 2\,\theta + \sin 2\phi = 1/2$…..$(i)$ 

and $\cos 2\,\theta + \cos 2\,\varphi = 3/2$…..$(ii)$ 

Square અને adding , 

$\therefore \,({\sin ^2}2\theta + {\cos ^2}2\theta ) + ({\sin ^2}2\phi + {\cos ^2}2\phi  )$

$ + 2\,[\sin 2\,\theta \,\sin 2\,\phi + \cos 2\,\theta \,\cos 2\,\phi ] = 1/4 + 9/4$ 

==> $\cos 2\theta \cos 2\,\phi + \sin 2\theta \sin 2\phi = 1/4$ 

==> $\cos (2\theta - 2\phi ) = 1/4$ 

==> ${\cos ^2}(\theta - \phi ) = 5/8$.
