Q63 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (19 Aug Shift 2) · Mathematics

If θ∈[0,2π] and cos2θ=cosθ+sinθ then the sum of all values of θ satisfying the equation is

  • A
    21π2
  • B
    11π4
  • Correct answer
    C
    24π4
  • D
    31π4

Solution

Given, cos2θ=cosθ+sinθ

Using, cos2A=cos2x-sin2x, we get

cos2θ-sin2θ=cosθ+sinθ

⇒cosθ+sinθcosθ-sinθ=cosθ+sinθ  ∵a2-b2=a+ba-b

⇒cosθ+sinθcosθ-sinθ-1=0

⇒cosθ+sinθ=0 or cosθ-sinθ=1

Now, cosθ+sinθ=0⇒cosθ=-sinθ

⇒tanθ=-1

⇒θ=3π4, 7π4

And, cosθ-sinθ=1

Either cosθ=1, sinθ=0

⇒θ=0, 2π

Or cosθ=0, sinθ=-1

⇒θ=3π2

Now, Sum of all possible values of θ is 3π4+7π4+0+2π+3π2=24π4

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