Q41 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (08 Apr Shift 1) · Mathematics

Let A=cosα-sinαsinαcosα, a∈R  such that A32=0-110. Then, a value of α is:

  • A
    0
  • B
    π16
  • Correct answer
    C
    π64
  • D
    π32

Solution

∵ A=cosα-sinαsinαcosα 

⇒A2=cos2α-sin2αsin2αcos2α

⇒A3 =cos3α-sin3αsin3αcos3α

Similarly, A32 =cos32α-sin32αsin32αcos32α
Given, 

A32 =0-110

⇒ cos32α-sin32αsin32αcos32α=0-110

On comparing cos32α=0 & sin32α=1, we get,
α=π64

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