The greatest value of sin4θ + cos4θ is?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option D
$$\eqalign{ & {\sin ^2}\theta + {\cos ^2}\theta = 1 \cr & {\text{Squaring both sides}} \cr & {\sin ^4}\theta + {\cos ^4}\theta \cr & = 1 - 2{\sin ^2}\theta . {\cos ^2}\theta \cr & {\text{Put}}\,\theta = {90^ \circ } \cr & = 1 - 2{\sin ^2}{90^ \circ } \times {\cos ^2}{90^ \circ } \cr & = 1 - 0 \cr & = 1 \cr} $$
