If θ is positive acute angle and 7cos2θ + 3sin2θ = 4, then value of θ is?
A. 60°
B. 30°
C. 45°
D. 90°
Answer: Option A
Solution(By Examveda Team)
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{7co}}{{\text{s}}^2}\theta + 3{\sin ^2}\theta = 4 \cr & 7{\text{co}}{{\text{s}}^2}\theta + 3\left( {1 - {\text{co}}{{\text{s}}^2}\theta } \right) - 4 = 0 \cr & 7{\text{co}}{{\text{s}}^2}\theta - 3{\text{co}}{{\text{s}}^2}\theta + 3 - 4 = 0 \cr & 4{\text{co}}{{\text{s}}^2}\theta = 1 \cr & {\text{co}}{{\text{s}}^2}\theta = \frac{1}{4} \cr & {\text{cos}}\theta = \frac{1}{2} \cr & \cos \theta = {\text{cos}}{60^ \circ } \cr & \theta = {60^ \circ } \cr} $$Related Questions on Trigonometry
