Q52 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (10 Jan Shift 2) · Mathematics

The number of values of θ∈0, π for which the system of linear equations
x+3y+7z=0
-x+4y+7z=0
sin⁡3θx+cos⁡2θy+2z=0
has a non-trivial solution, is:

  • Correct answer
    A
    Two
  • B
    Three
  • C
    Four
  • D
    One

Solution

For non-trivial solutions

137-147sin3θcos2θ2=0

⇒4sin3θ+4sin2θ-3sinθ=0

⇒sinθ=0 or sinθ=12 or sinθ=-32

Since θ∈0, π

⇒θ=π6 and 5π6 will satisfy the equation

because sinθ=-32 is not possible as range of sinθ is -1,1

⇒ Number of θ ' s=2

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