    If \[\frac{1-{{\tan }^{2}}\theta }{{{\sec }^{2}}\theta }=\frac{1}{2}\], then the general value of \[\theta \]is

    A) \[n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{6}\]

    B) \[n\pi +\frac{\pi }{6}\]

    C) \[2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{6}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\frac{1-{{\tan }^{2}}\theta }{{{\sec }^{2}}\theta }=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow {{\cos }^{2}}\theta -{{\sin }^{2}}\theta =\frac{1}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\cos 2\theta =\frac{1}{2}=\cos \left( \frac{\pi }{3} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[2\theta =2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{3}\Rightarrow \theta =n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{6}\].
