Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2022

Let $$S = \left\{ {\theta \in [ - \pi ,\pi ] - \left\{ { \pm \,\,{\pi \over 2}} \right\}:\sin \theta \tan \theta + \tan \theta = \sin 2\theta } \right\}$$.

If $T = \sum\limits_{\theta \, \in \,S}^{} {\cos 2\theta }$, then T + n(S) is equal to :

  1. A 7 + $\sqrt 3$
  2. B 9 Correct answer
  3. C 8 + $\sqrt 3$
  4. D 10

Solution

$\tan \theta(\sin \theta+1)-\sin 2 \theta=0$ <br/><br/> $$ \begin{aligned} &\tan \theta\left(\sin \theta+1-2 \cos ^{2} \theta\right)=0 \\\\ &\Rightarrow \tan \theta=0 \text { or } 2 \sin ^{2} \theta+\sin \theta-1=0 \\\\ &\Rightarrow(2 \sin \theta+1)(\sin \theta-1)=0 \\\\ &\Rightarrow \sin \theta=\frac{-1}{2} \text { or } 1 \end{aligned} $$ <br/><br/> But, $\sin \theta=1$ not possible <br/><br/> $\theta=0, \pi,-\pi,-\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{-5 \pi}{6}$ <br/><br/> $\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{S})=5$ <br/><br/> $$ T=\sum \cos 2 \theta=\cos 0^{\circ}+\cos 2 \pi+\cos (-2 \pi) +\cos \left(-\frac{5 \pi}{3}\right)+\cos \left(-\frac{\pi}{3}\right) $$<br/><br/>= 4
