Q48 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2022 (19 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics

If $-i$ and $\alpha$ are the roots of the equation $i z^2-2(i+1) z+$ $(2-i)=0, \tan \theta=\frac{-1}{2}$ and $\theta \in 4^{\text {th }}$ quadrant, then $5^3 \cos 6 \theta=$

  • Correct answer
    A
    –117
  • B
    -44
  • C
    117
  • D
    44

Solution

We have $\tan \theta=\frac{-1}{2} \Rightarrow \tan 3 \theta=\frac{-11}{2}$ Now $5^3 \cos 6 \theta=125\left(\frac{1-\tan ^2(3 \theta)}{1+\tan ^2(3 \theta)}\right)$ $=125 \times \frac{-117}{125}=-117$

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