If `1/6 sintheta, costheta` and `tantheta` are in G.P. then the general solution for `theta` is-A. `2npi+-pi/3`B. `2npi+-pi/6`C. `npi+-pi/3`D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - a
Since, `1/6sintheta,costheta, tantheta` are in G.P.
`rArr cos^(2)theta=1/6(sintheta.tantheta) rArr 6cos^(3)theta+cos^(2)theta-1=0`
`therefore (2costheta-1)(3 cos^(2)theta+2costheta+1)=0`
`rArr costheta=1/2` (other values of `costheta` are imaginary)
`rArr costheta=cospi/3 rArr theta=2npi+-pi/3, n in I`.
