    If \[2{{\sin }^{2}}\theta =3\cos \theta ,\]where \[0\le \theta \le 2\pi \], then \[\theta =\] [IIT 1963]

    A) \[\frac{\pi }{6},\frac{7\pi }{6}\]

    B) \[\frac{\pi }{3},\frac{5\pi }{3}\]

    C) \[\frac{\pi }{3},\frac{7\pi }{3}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[2-2{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =3\cos \theta \] Þ  \[2{{\cos }^{2}}+3\cos \theta -2=0\] Þ  \[\cos \theta =\frac{-3\pm \sqrt{9+16}}{4}=\frac{-3\pm 5}{4}\] Neglecting (-) sign, we get \[\cos \theta =\frac{1}{2}=\cos \left( \frac{\pi }{3} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\theta =2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{3}\]. The values of \[\theta \] between 0 and \[2\pi \] are \[\frac{\pi }{3},\text{ }\frac{\text{5}\pi }{\text{3}}\].
