Q51 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (29 Jul Shift 1) · Mathematics

Let S=θ∈(0,2π):7cos2θ-3sin2θ-2cos22θ=2. Then, the sum of roots of all the equations x2-2tan2θ+cot2θx+6sin2θ=0 θ∈S, is _______.

Correct answer: 16

Solution

Given,

7cos2θ-3sin2θ-2cos22θ=2

⇒7cos2θ-31-cos2θ-2cos22θ=2

⇒4cos2θ+3cos2θ-2cos22θ=2

⇒21+cos2θ+3cos2θ-2cos22θ=2

⇒2cos22θ-5cos2θ=0

⇒cos2θ2cos2θ-5=0

⇒cos2θ=0 or 2cos2θ-5=0 which is not possible

⇒2θ=2n+1π2

⇒θ=2n+1π4

S=π4,3π4,5π4,7π4

For all four values of θ, tan2θ & cot2θ will become 1 and sin2θ will become 12

So, x2-2tan2θ+cot2θx+6sin2θ=0

⇒x2-4x+3=0

Sum of roots of all four equations =4×4=16.

Hence, the correct answer is 16.
