If sinθ × cosθ = $$\frac{1}{2}{\text{,}}$$ Then the value of sinθ - cosθ is where 0° < θ < 90°.

A. 0

B. $$\sqrt 2 $$

C. 2

D. 1

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & \sin \theta \times \cos \theta = \frac{1}{2} \cr & {\text{Multiply by 2 both side}} \cr & 2\sin \theta \times \cos \theta = 1 \cr & \sin 2\theta = 1 \cr & \sin 2\theta = \sin {90^ \circ } \cr & 2\theta = {90^ \circ } \cr & \theta = {45^ \circ } \cr & {\text{So,}}\sin \theta - {\text{cos}}\theta \cr & = \sin {45^ \circ } - \cos {45^ \circ } \cr & = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} \cr & = 0{\text{ }} \cr} $$
