Q33 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (25 Feb Shift 1) · Mathematics

All possible values of θ∈0,2π for which sin2θ+tan2θ>0 lie in :

  • A
    0,π2∪π,3π2
  • B
    0,π2∪π2,3π4∪π,7π6
  • Correct answer
    C
    0,π4∪π2,3π4∪π,5π4∪3π2,7π4
  • D
    0,π4∪π2,3π4∪3π2,11π6

Solution

sin2θ+tan2θ>0

⇒sin2θ+sin2θcos2θ>0

⇒sin2θcos2θ+1cos2θ>0⇒tan2θ2cos2θ>0

Note: cos2θ≠0

⇒1-2sin2θ≠0⇒sinθ≠±12

Now, tan2θ1+cos2θ>0

⇒tan2θ>0 (as cos2θ+1>0)

⇒2θ∈0,π2∪π,3π2∪2π,5π2∪3π,7π2

⇒θ∈0,π4∪π2,3π4∪π,5π4∪3π2,7π4

As sinθ≠±12; which has been already considered

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
