Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2021

If $$0 < \theta ,\phi < {\pi \over 2},x = \sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {{{\cos }^{2n}}\theta } ,y = \sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {{{\sin }^{2n}}\phi } $$ and $z = \sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {{{\cos }^{2n}}\theta .{{\sin }^{2n}}\phi }$ then :

  1. A xy $-$ z = (x + y)z
  2. B xyz = 4
  3. C xy + z = (x + y)z Correct answer
  4. D xy + yz + zx = z

Solution

$x = 1 + {\cos ^2}\theta + ..........\infty$<br><br>$x = {1 \over {1 - {{\cos }^2}\theta }} = {1 \over {{{\sin }^2}\theta }}$ .......(1)<br><br>$y = 1 + {\sin ^2}\phi + ........\infty$<br><br>$y = {1 \over {1 - {{\sin }^2}\phi }} = {1 \over {{{\cos }^2}\phi }}$ ....... (2)<br><br>$$z = {1 \over {1 - {{\cos }^2}\theta .{{\sin }^2}\phi }} = {1 \over {1 - \left( {1 - {1 \over x}} \right)\left( {1 - {1 \over y}} \right)}} = {{xy} \over {xy - (x - 1)(y - 1)}}$$<br><br>$\Rightarrow$ $xz + yz - z = xy$<br><br>$\Rightarrow$ $xy + z = (x + y)z$
